How do I resolve iCloud sign-in error 34608 on iPhone without erasing or signing out?

Hello, I can’t sign in to iCloud on my iPhone. After entering my Apple Account email and password and accepting the Terms and Conditions, I get error 34608.

I can sign in at account.apple.com, but iCloud sign-in on my iPhone fails. Please help me fix this issue without erasing my iPhone or signing me out of my account, as I’m concerned about Activation Lock.

per google search

Error 34608 means your device cannot sign in to iCloud or your Apple Account because of an authentication or two-factor security mismatch, even though your credentials work on web browsers like Apple ID or iCloud.com.
