Amit Srivastava give this detail here

Apple forcing developers to use two factors password security and follow these steps to enable it

On your apple device with iOS 9+

  1. Go to Settings > iCloud > tap your Apple ID
  2. Password & Security
  3. Turn on Two-Factor Authentication

On your Mac Pro with OS X El Capitan or later

  1. Go to Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Account Details

  2. Click Security

  3. Turn on Two-Factor Authentication

If you already use two-step verification, turn it off, then turn on two-factor authentication

The issue seems to be on the Apple's side and is not related to Two-Factor Authentication. I contacted the Apple Developer Support by filling in this form:

https://developer.apple.com/contact/apple-id/

They fixed the issue for my account by next day. I got this answer by email:

We believe this issue has been resolved. I encourage you to try to sign in to Xcode later on today. If you are still encountering this specific issue, please send us a screenshot of the error and steps to reproduce the issue.

Don't hesitate to contact the support team.

Seems like Apple is forcing developers to use 2 factors password security. i've fixed the issue by applying for 2 factors security and now its working

    I don't think it's *intentional*; they'd have a better error message if that was the case. Most likely, enabling 2FA resets something in the login system, working around a glitch. – NobodyNada Dec 15 '16 at 20:13
  • This worked for me. However I only had to do it for one of my accounts, the other still works fine without it. Very odd behavior. – rdixon Dec 15 '16 at 21:00
  • Worked for me too. Makes me really angry though. – GregP Dec 16 '16 at 03:45

    There is no any official post from Apple about this. It looks like an error on Apple side. – Rostyslav Druzhchenko Dec 16 '16 at 08:41

    Thanks a lot! I wasted a lot of time on this. This is unacceptable from Apple!! They should at least show an appropriate error message! – vin25 Dec 16 '16 at 10:16

    Apple doesn't care about developers. – ABCD Dec 16 '16 at 10:31
  • The worst thing is that I've they required a password change before, and now the account is blocked for 3 days before allowing two step authorisation! – tomsoft Dec 16 '16 at 12:04

Apple has fixed the issue (at least for the moment). No need for the suggested two factor authentication workaround.

  • are you sure? I am on xCode 8.3.3 and I was getting issues until I turned OFF and then turned ON two-factor authentication at https://appleid.apple.com/ – rustyMagnet Jun 24 '17 at 15:26

    The answer was regarding Xcode 8.2 in december 2016 hence the "at least for the moment" comment. – antonjn Jun 27 '17 at 13:48
