What to do when My Apple ID authentication fails?

How to resolve "Unable to sign you into your Apple ID. Try again later" issue?

Try either switching the network, or restarting your device, and if they don't work change the certificate.

First, try switching networks after turning off VPN and if the issue is still there, restart your device and try again.
