I am wishing to login to the iCloud Desktop Ap to be able to down load all of my saved photos to my laptop.

Previously I had removed this laptop from my iCloud device list, due to the possibility of it possibly being hacked.

I am now unable to log into the iCloud Desktop Ap, with the below pop up error showing each time I try.

I am using Windows Windows 10 Pro, I am going to File Explorer then selecting iCloud.

I have the correct email and password.

I am able to log into the iCloud account through this link - appleid.apple.com, however this does not show the photos and other information that is backed up to my iCloud.

Any suggestions to try, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the link, however it hasn't allowed me access.

I opened iTunes - clicked on Account - Authorisations - Sign in - again the Verification Failed Error appeared after trying to sign in.

I then clicked on Account - Authorisations - Authorise this computer - it took me to sign in, and the Verification Failed error appeared.

Have you tried logging in here. You should be able to get to Photos from there.
