AMD-Action:authenticate:SP

Hi All,

I have a brand new 5k iMAC 10.13.3 unable to download apps from the App Store. I am getting this error message AMD-Action:authenticate:SP. I have local Admin on the machine. Can anyone tell me how to fix this very frustrating problem?

Thanks in advance.

Cannot sign in to App Store on iMac Pro I have seen previous questions (now locked) about not being able to sign in to the App Store. I have been having the same issue since updating to Monterey. I had to download Xcode from the Developer website instead of the App Store because of this issue. After the latest software update, I no longer have the 2FA issue with signing in with my Apple ID on the iMac Pro. I am successfully logged in with my Apple ID in System Preferences as well as Music (iTunes). However, when I try to sign in to the App Store, it takes my password without telling me that it is wrong but I am still not signed in afterwards. The "Sign In" button still appears in the bottom left corner instead of my profile picture and trying to Get any apps just hangs.

Can not download any app from the App store, doesn't shown two factor authentication code window. Hi, Recently i have reseted my macbook with Yosemite. Reset before my iOS was Mojave. But, in the middle of reseting my macbook air, there has gone with something error. That's why used the old system /means Yosemite/. Then i am trying to download any app or Mojave from the App store. They don't accept my account and I have two factor authentication, But app store telling me please enter the verification code shown on your other device, but there don't have any window to enter the verification code. I think this is a system error, before i always go through without any kind of issues to download any app from App store. Now, i losing my second day without any application, i losing my time and my jobs. So sad :( Almost crying... Please help me.
