Q1: Let us know, since how long have you been facing this error/issue:

Can't Login to Account


If you're having trouble logging in to your iCloud account, make sure you're using the correct email address and password. Double-check that the Caps Lock key is not on, as passwords are case-sensitive. If you still can't log in, your account may have been disabled for security reasons, and you'll need to reset your password. In addition, make sure your device is connected to a working Wi-Fi network, and try turning off FaceTime and iMessage temporarily.

Causes

  • Incorrect login credentials
  • Server downtime or maintenance
  • Network connectivity issues
  • An iCloud account is locked or disabled
  • Two-factor authentication issues
  • Outdated iOS version or software bugs
  • Account hacked or compromised

Solution 1: Check Apple's System Status site to ensure there is no server downtime

  1. To get started, open a browser on your operating system.
  2. After that, go to Apple's System Status website.
  3. Check the status of the service you are having trouble with, such as iCloud or Apple ID.
  4. If the service is marked with a green circle, it means it is working correctly. 
  5. If it is marked with a yellow or red circle, there may be an issue that is causing the login problem.
  6. If there is a yellow or red circle, check the message shown for more details. Apple will usually provide an estimated time of when the issue will be fixed.
  7. Wait for the issue to be fixed, and try to log in to your iCloud account again.

Solution 2: Make sure you have an active and stable internet connection

  1. First, connect your computer to Wi-Fi or mobile data.
  2. After that, you have to open an internet browser.
  3. Then, try to access a website to ensure that the internet is working.
  4. If you are using Wi-Fi, move closer to the router or try resetting it.
  5. If you are using mobile data, ensure that you have enough data balance and that your cellular network coverage is good.

Solution 3: Try resetting your Apple ID password

  1. Go to the Apple ID account page and select Forgot Apple ID or Password.
  2. After that, type in your Apple ID and hit the Continue button.
  3. Next, choose the option to reset your password and tap Continue.
  4. Select the method to reset your password - via email, answering security questions, or two-factor authentication.
  5. Then, follow the steps and enter the verification code if required.
  6. Now, set a new password and then confirm it.
  7. In the end, tap on Reset Password to complete the process.

Solution 4: Check your date and time settings and ensure they are correct and set to automatic

  1. In the beginning, go to the Settings app on your iOS device.
  2. After that, you need to click on General and then Date & Time.
  3. Then, turn on the Set Automatically option.
  4. If the option is already turned on, turn it off, wait for a few seconds, and turn it back on.
  5. Now, check if the date and time displayed are correct.
  6. If they are incorrect, turn off the Set Automatically option, and set the correct date and time manually.
  7. Once done, you have to turn on the Set Automatically option again.
  8. If the date and time settings were incorrect, this caused the log in issue. 
  9. Check if you can now log in to your iCloud email account.

Solution 5: Sign out of iCloud and sign back in again

  1. First, go to your device's settings and select your Apple ID.
  2. After that, scroll down and then press Sign Out.
  3. Then, input your Apple ID password and click Turn Off.
  4. After signing out, you need to restart your mobile device.
  5. Go back to your device's settings and select Sign in to your [device].
  6. Now, type in your Apple ID and password, and hit Sign In.
  7. Next, follow the steps on the screen to complete the sign-in process.
  8. Once signed in, check if the "Can't log in to Account" issue in iCloud is fixed. 

Solution 6: Update your device to the latest version of iOS or macOS

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad device. 
  2. Or go to the Apple menu on your Mac system.
  3. Next, tap on General and select Software Update on your iOS device. 
  4. On a Mac system, you need to select Software Update.
  5. If an update is available, hit Download and Install or Update Now to start the update process.
  6. Now, follow the on-screen steps to finish the update process.
  7. Once the update is done, restart your operating system.

  3. After that, tap on Turn Off Two-Factor Authentication.
  4. Follow the steps to confirm the change and provide a new trusted phone number.
  5. After completing the steps, sign out of your device and sign back in using your Apple ID and new password.
  6. After troubleshooting the issue, it is advised to enable two-factor authentication again by going back to the Security section on appleid.apple.com and selecting Turn On Two-Factor Authentication.

Solution 8: Try logging in to your iCloud account using a different device or web browser

  1. Open a different device or web browser from the one you are currently using.
  2. After that, you have to go to the iCloud website.
  3. Then, type in your Apple account ID and Password.
  4. In the next step, select the Sign In button.
  5. If you are able to log in successfully, the issue might be with your initial device or browser.
  6. Now, clear the cache and cookies of your initial device or browser.
  7. Next, try logging in again on your initial device or browser.
