Since I use El Capitan my Apple ID doesn't work properly

I upgraded my IMac to El Capitan and now it appears that logging in with my apple ID does't work properly. It recognizes a wrong entered password, but it seems to stay in a loop when using the correct password! Someone any clue? BTW it works fine (I downgraded the OSX to Yosemite again) in Yosemite!

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11)

I had the same problem. I tried many things including deleting files in icoud/Accounts, restarted holding command-option-PR for 2 bongs, shut down machine and booted up after 10 seconds, booted off another drive and ran disk tools... Even spoke to 2 different Apple reps. No dice. After they elevated and said an engineer would contact me in 48 hours (too long) I went old school.


I restarted my machine, holding down the shift key. Safe mode. Logged into itunes, icloud and messages with my apple ID... NO PROBLEM! Restarted my machine normally and Víola!
