Hi there
Please see this
Incorrect Date and Time: If the device's clock is out of sync with Apple's servers, security tokens fail to verify.
Account Status Issues: The Apple Account may have pending terms, billing problems, or could be temporarily locked/disabled for security reasons.
VPN or Security Interference: Active VPN profiles or strict Wi-Fi firewall settings can block authentication requests.
