3. Do you have a suggestion about how to resolve the issue?

Seems that this is due to MFA Default to disable username / password login as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76598530/unable-to-login-in-ibm-cloud-from-cli/77754626#77754626

I suggest to modify the error message, adding to it the following text: 'This may be caused by account authentication settings' or similar.

Hi @Blindfreddy, you might have to wait 24 hours after creating an account to log into the CLI. Please try again later. If you try again and the problem persists, please let me know here.
