Cannot login to Apple ID from Mac

Hello everyone,


I have a problem with logging onto my Apple ID / iCloud from my Mac, every time i try it it says "Verification Failed. An Unknown error has occurred." There's no problem with logging in from Safari / Mobile.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

"If you can't connect to the App Store, iTunes Store, or other Apple services" click here --> https://support.apple.com/HT201400

- If none of the suggestions work, try the last one: "If you’ve tried all of the above steps and you still can’t connect, contact Apple Support."


If you can't connect or sign in to iCloud --> https://support.apple.com/HT203512


Verification Failed "problem connecting to the server" March 2018 - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8321958 - Needed to connect over wi-fi and not through cellular.


And the opposite:

"Verification Failed, An unknown error occurred" March 2018 - https://discussions.apple.com/message/33184357#message33184357 - "tried again with Wifi off and it worked"
