Sign in messages on macOS

Hi,


I reinstalled my MacBook Air and now I couldn't sign in Messages app with my Apple ID. Before reinstalling, Messages worked very well. I could send SMS and iMessages from my MacBook Air without any problem.


I tried everything - checking the date and time, reseting NVRAM....


Did anyone have same issue?


PS. FaceTime works ok - I am signed in and I can make and receive calls.
