I am now getting this on my Macs.
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks.

Try signing out of your account and then back in again.

Tried that and it just sits there after I click sign out and does nothing.

You're saying that you can't sign back in now?

 

[wellander1]

Yes
But it works just fine on my iPad and iPhone.

I'm assuming you've also rebooted your Mac. Just to help anyone else who may read this, what is your Mac and what OS version is it on?

 

[wellander1]

Yes I rebooted it.
Mac mini 2014 running 10.12.6 and 10.14.6 (dual boot)

Do you have a firewall or VPN running on the Mac?

OK
