So if I can set up the keychain somehow or hook up my android phone so that the verification code is given to me there instead of an SMS, that is fine for me, I just dont know how to. If I find Catalina to download on the appstore and click download, the appstore asks me to log in again, here the problem is slightly, curiosly different: I give my email and password, the appstore tells me the password or email are wrong, BUT I do get verification codes send via sms, but here I csnnot enter them anywhere, because the appstore doesnt recognize my credentials When I try to log in to icloud or connect an icloud account in the system preferences, it never works because I do not receive a verification code via SMS but the mac asks for a 6 digit verification code I suppose I have no icloud keychain, because I have never used icloud, seein as I have not done anything with my apple ID besides registering one I user on the Imac but I could not register the user with an apple ID because during installation I was told there was a server error. I have a clean installation of Yosemite Logging in to apple ID on the browser works well and I get SMSes to verify, no problem.

My goal: All I want to do at this stage is log in to appstore with my apple ID (which I created in the browser and by now I have 2 phone numbers as second factor), so I can download and install Catalina. Okay, sorry, maybe I wasnt clear, I will try again:

Updating of Mac from Mac OS Yosemite to Mac OS catalina is not related. If apple id is signed out, a new user can't be created in users and groups, you created a new Apple ID from web server, but that will be signed only, when previous account credentials are known, also from a Mac maximum limit for creating Apple ID address is three, if its exceeded a new Apple ID won't be signed in, you have to use any three Apple ID already created in past and resign in it. You signed out Apple ID from Mac, the new Apple ID will be created if you have correct credentials from previous Apple ID account, that means correct answers for respective questions, date of birth, rescue mail address and its password, and iCloud Keychain verification code. You avoided the setting up iCloud Keychain, essentially a trusted device is to be added to get code via text, it could be an iPhone or android device. Sign in with the same Apple ID to use any Apple service, on any device-whether it’s your computer, iOS device, iPadOS device, or Apple Watch. If you don’t already have an Apple ID, you can create one during setup (it’s free). It’s best to have your own Apple ID and not share it.

It’s the account you use for everything you do with Apple-including using the App Store, Apple TV app, Apple Books, iCloud, Messages, and more. Sign in with your Apple ID: Your Apple ID consists of an email address and a password. See the article Set up your MacBook Pro - Apple Support
