Incorrect Apple Account password for 'Sign in to Podcast' pop-up on Mac

Pop-up on Mac "Sign in to Apple Media Services..." keeps popping up. It says "Sign in to Podcast" but podcasts is already open and running. Putting in my AppleID password says wrong password, even though it is correct. Can't make it stop.

Hey Bob the Lobster!


Typically when this happens either you are signed into iCloud and Media and Purchases with different accounts, OR something purchases in another app, such as Music/iTunes/App Store, etc. was purchased with a different Apple account, that you are not signed in with, hence why it wouldn’t accept the correct credentials you are using to authenticate it.


Could you please confirm either:


If you are signed in to two diffeeent accounts in System Settings > Apple Account > iCloud/Media?


Or:


If you’ve had a different Apple account in the past other than the one that is signed in to your Mac?


Cheers! Glad to help out if I can, as anyone else here!
