Find Me keeps asking for password. but its correct

I need to restore my iPhone. So the restore option requires Find My option to be disabled.

When I go to turn OFF Find My in cloud settings. it asks for my account password.

Entering the password it fails verification. Hmmm. Im sure it was correct.

Anyway - reset my account password and it still fails the password verification (which I just reset successfully).

Any clues?

Mac Pro, macOS 12.7

Find My... iPad? I got a new (to me) iPad10 for Christmas. Love it! But, by default Find My was enabled. Okay, great, what's not to like? Well, every time I left home, with my iPhone but not with my iPad, I got an alert that Find My noticed that my iPad was at certain coordinates (my home address)! Why would this continually happen? It was such an aggravation, that I shut off Find My for the iPad. But, then I got an email saying this: With Find My disabled, this device can no longer be located, placed in Lost Mode, or remotely erased using icloud.com/find or the Find My app. In addition, your Apple ID and password will no longer be required for someone to erase, reactivate, and use your iPad. OK, this sounds like I have sacrificed quite a lot not to be aggravated by a silly error message every time I go anywhere without the iPad. Is there some way I can keep the advantages of Find My described in the email above and NOT get the ridiculous error message when I leave home without it? And, is this something new? I don't recall ever getting such a message in the past. Thanks for any thoughts on this.

What to do if I can’t log into my iCloud for Find My iPhone? How do I use find my iphone if I can't log into my icloud? The two step authentification wont allow me to log in without sending a verification code to my lost phone. (I never opted for the two step auth. but I guess it's been more than two weeks since Apple added it to my account, so I can't remove it). For context: my phone was stolen a week ago and luckily i got it back but the find my phone app was completely useless because Apple wouldn't log me into my account. I want to figure out how to find my phone if something happens in the future. I do have an iPad that I never use, the only way it seems I can find my missing phone is if I keep that with me always just in case or pay for a second phone line that I will never use.
