Was there an error message you forgot to tell us? That would indicate the solution.
The resolution to this issue may be to make sure you have entered a credit card or other valid method of payment* even if you don't plan on needing to use it. The document 'If you can't remove your last payment method or use no payment method with your Apple ID' ( https://support.apple.com/HT203905 ) mentions, "if you're using an existing Apple ID with the App Store for the first time, you must provide payment information."
If there is an option to select "Review" or "Continue", select that and enter valid payment information if required. If there's problems doing this:
On a mobile device tap: Settings > [your name at the top] > Media & Purchases > View Account > Review Apple ID.

If you continue to have problems contact Official Apple Support - Select your region from the list and then your country from the pop-up window. If you do not see your country, see if there is an "other" listing for that region.

I suggest you also send feedback to Apple about the looping issue. I see this posted at least daily and while there is a workaround, it's clearly a feature that is not working for everybody, or needs better explaining. Try entering your Apple ID email address and see if it then prompts for a password. If this works, please let me know, but according to this user it won't --> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253412678?answerId=256387736022#256387736022.
