Due to the upcoming changes to my ISP, I have a need to change my Apple ID from one .com email address to another. This seemed simple enough, after reading the Apple recommended steps:

Except that between step 2 and 3, the iOS asks for entering the iPhone passcode:
After entering the passcode, iOS is going in to a loop, constantly asking for the passcode and I cannot get it to pass. Locked the iPhone and unlocked it with the very same passcode without an issue.
I did sign out my Apple ID on my Macbook, even shut it down, but that did not make a difference. Also tried by signing in to my Apple ID via a browser, but that did not change the email address either. The account does have TFA enabled, maybe that should be disabled first?
Any advice would be appreciated, TIA...
PS: iOS version is 11.4...
