The Apple Store rejected my password and said I had to 1) enter the associated phone number and enter a code sent to the done. But then it said I had to wait 5 days. I was sent a new code by phone and asked to select a new password-approved. But the Apple Store won’t accept the new password!

Re: "Password .... had to wait 5 days. .... the Apple Store won’t accept the new password!"
✽ Try making sure you are signed out of the App / Apple / Store, ie: not signed in under the old password.)
✽ Then, either update your iOS version to the newest available version : iOS 18.6 About iOS 18 Updates - Apple Support says: "This update provides important bug fixes and security updates" (NB: Please remmer it is wise to back-up data first if updating iOS)
or
✽ If iOS 18.6 is already installed: Restart your iPhone instead:
(ie: Restarting deletes temporary files, re-establishes connections, may update recent setting changes, and often restores order if something is not working as expected.)
✽ Then try again to sign in to the App / Apple Store with the new password.
