'Verification Failed' occur when signing in with a known password on a new iPhone

on the new Iphone 17 promax device, I can't do anything with my account, I can't download or change anything, or even reset my settings. I am being asked for an account password, which I know perfectly well and which is suitable when logging in from another device, but when I enter the password on a new device, I receive a "verification failed" notification. What could be the problem? how to solve this problem?
