apple id verification keeps coming up after catalina update

I have been asked to enter my apple ID in the settings no less that 10 times this morning alone.


I enter the info, it accepts it, then 10 minutes later, it asks for it again.


What is the issue?

Hello bigalwood,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. I understand that you’re repeatedly being prompted to verify your Apple ID in System Preferences on your Mac. I’m happy to help.


Let’s start by restarting your Mac. Once you’ve fully restarted, are you still being prompted to verify your Apple ID?


If you’re still being prompted to verify your Apple ID, please sign out of your Apple ID using the steps here: Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac - Apple Support


Then, use the steps here t sign in to your Apple ID in the section titled “Sign in on your Mac” here: Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support


I also recommend checking for macOS updates. Apple has recently released a supplemental update to macOS Catalina.


Take care.
