Can't use Ipad as sidecar w/ macbook air

I'm trying to use my ipad as a second monitor and I keep getting the error "The iCloud account does not use two-factor authentication." My Ipad and Macbook are compatible, i've checked everywhere on the website and all the boxes are checked off but I am still not able to do it. I appreciate all the help I can get.

iCloud Keychain and two-factor authentication errors on iPhone Hello, After trying to resolve another issue I turned off iCloud Keychain on my iPhone 12 running iOS 17.2.1. When I try to turn it on again, I get the following two messages: "iCloud Keychain Require the Latest Account Security. Your account needs to be upgraded to use two-factor authentication, and you need to create a passcode for this iPhone" After thinking for a few seconds I get another error: "iCloud Keychain Cannot be Set Up. This feature requires two-factor authentication The Apple ID XXXX does not support two-factor authentication." I have both a passcode and two-factor authentication set up and working. iCloud Keychain appears to work well on my MacBook and I've tried restarting, changing my password, changing my pin, ect. Any thoughts to how to resolve this? Screenshot of errors are below:

Can sign into Apple.com but cannot sign into icloud.com on Windows Firefox I tried to sign into my icloud.com account on Windows desktop firefox browser many times today without success. I know I entered the correct password, but icloud always said the password is wrong. I even tried to change the password on my iphone and sign in again with the new password on icloud, it still always says the password is wrong. Every time after sign in failed on windows firefox, my iphone would ask me if I allow signing in elsewhere, I clicked allow and it would pop up with a Verification code. However on the Windows desktop, icloud.com never asks me for a Verification code. There is no option to enter the verification code anywhere. The only 2 option is password or passkey. The correct password always come back with failed. I also tried sign in with passkey many times. I used my iphone camera to scan the QR code on the desktop, clicked on the link, desktop changed the prompt to show that it is communicating with my iphone waiting for approval, I verified the facial scan and everything went fine on the iphone side, but the windows desktop will still say verification failed! This is ridicules, correct password and correct iphone passcode both fails on the icloud. What is more ridicules is that I am then able to sign into apple.com with the passcode and get to this forum fine on the same windows firefox, but I still failed to login to icloud.com in the same browser using the same method. I think icloud have a bug. Please fix ASAP! or please tell me how to get into icloud!

Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support

Note that once you turn this on, you won't be able to turn it off (unless you turned it on accidentally, and turn it off within two weeks).
