Part 1. 10 Feasible Solutions to Repair Apple ID Verification Failed Issue

In most cases, when faced with the verification failed error on Apple ID, the first thing you want to figure out is the quickest way to make it go away. Here are outlined 10 feasible ways for you and you can follow them one by one.

#1Check System Status Page of Apple

Check Apple Support System Status Page, and make sure there is a green dot in front of "Apple ID". If there is a yellow or red dot, it is not your problem but the Apple server's. You can give feedback to Apple and wait for them to fix their system. However, if it is verified to be your problem, you should move on to the next solution.

#2Check Internet Connection

First and foremost, the verification failure is merely caused by your Internet connection. If you are using a Wi-Fi network, check whether your device connects to the router hotspot and whether your Internet router is trusted. If you are on cellular, check if it is active and the Low Data Mode is off. And there is another suggestion – if the Wi-Fi doesn't work, change to mobile data and vice versa. But if the Apple ID verification failed error still exists, try the following ways.

#3Check VPN Connection

Some of you may be using a VPN, which will hide your device's IP so that the information of your Apple ID cannot be scanned from the Apple server. Therefore, disabling your VPN will help. If you have to enable it, turn it off before logging in with your Apple ID and then you can turn it on.

#4Turn on & off Airplane Mode

Until now, Internet connection might still be problematic. So, it is necessary to turn your Airplane mode on and then turn it off to refresh your network.

#5Reset Networking Settings

Resetting network settings is the final solution to fix the Internet issue. Since the above on-and-off operation to refresh your network does not work, you have no choice but to delete all your network settings. If your Apple ID failure in verification stays eventually, it proves that your Internet connection is fine.

#6Update Date & Time

On some forums, some users have found it useful to solve their issues by updating the Date & Time. This is because the data, time and location setting up in your device are different from the Apple server. You can switch on them successively.

  • Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services
  • Settings → General → Data & Time → Set Automatically
  • Settings → General → Data & Time → 24-Hour Time

#7Sign Out from iCloud, App Store and iTunes, Then Re-login

Try to sign out from iCloud, App Store and iTunes, then re-login. This will reconnect your device to the Apple server so that the Apple ID verification failed error connecting to Apple server could disappear. But remember: disable the Two-Factor Authentication in Security settings before you sign out.

#8Change Apple ID Password

Since Apple ID is pretty crucial to users, Apple sets strict regulations for your security. Therefore, the failed verification of Apple ID occurs because of its new password policy. And resetting your Apple ID's password is a possible solution to help you get your Apple ID back.

#9Force Restart

So many checks and settings do not change the situation. It's time to give your device a new start. If your Apple ID verification failing clears after a force restart, it is necessary to do all the steps mentioned above to avoid the problem happening again.

Models How to force restart
iPhone 8 and later Press Volume Up quickly → Press Volume Down quickly → Hold Power → Release when the Apple logo appears
iPhone 7 or 7 Plus Hold Volume Down and Sleep/Wake → Release when the Apple logo appears
iPhone 6, 6s Plus, or iPhone SE (1st Generation) Hold Sleep/Wake and Home → Release when the Apple logo appears

#10Upgrade to the Latest iOS

Maybe there is a bug with Apple ID in the older iOS version, and Apple repairs it and releases a new version. Or, some old functions of Apple ID in the previous version terminate their operation. Thus, you can upgrade to the latest iOS version, and your problem could be fixed. Here provides three ways for you to update your iOS version.

  • iPhone → Settings → General → Software Update
  • Connect to computer → iTunes → iPhone icon → Summary → Check for Update → Update
  • Joyoshare UltFix → Upgrade/Downgrade iOS → iOS Upgrade → Download→ Start Upgrade
