Unable to activate Apple ID on MacBook Pro

Apple ID is not activating


I created an Apple ID using my Gmail from the Apple website. Still, when I try to bind it to my new MacBook Pro after entering my email and password, the settings page goes blank. On my mobile, I am receiving the OTP, but as the settings go blank, I am not able to enter it. Please advise, I am new to the Mac environment.


My laptop is a MacBook Pro M4 Pro assembled in Vietnam, running macOS Tahoe version 26.1(25B78).
