Can no longer log into Messages in Mojave or High Sierra

This just started happening a couple days ago, but Message now always reports back an error when trying to log into my Apple ID account, both on my Mojave system and on my High Sierra system.


Messages works just fine on Catalina, both on my 2012 MacBook Pro and my 2012 Mac Pro; it's only with pre-Catalina OS's.


Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Hi Ken Auggie,


Thanks for the post. I understand you're having some issues using Messages on two Mac computers. Messages is a great app, and I'll be happy to help out with this issue.


You mentioned you're getting an error message. What does the error say?
