I keep getting this error when I go into settings to change my password. I’ve used just about every combination possible with it meeting the needs and yet I keep getting the same error message. What is wrong?

I reset my password recently because I kept getting a message that my password was incorrect. Even after resetting my password and typing it in correctly it still gives me the "incorrect password" message. Even though I reset my Apple ID password successfully when I use my new password it still gives me a message that my password is incorrect. Also, I keep getting "Unable to verify account name or password" when attempting to fix or update my email account associated with my Apple ID account. Please advise.
