It sounds like you made too many changes to the iCloud account and that Apple
wants you to wait to turn on two factor.
Consider this a security feature, if somebody works on guessing your password
and eventually gets it right, you would not want them to then be able to change
your authentication schemes and completely lock you out.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
