Macbook Air El Capitan constant message about iCloud

icloudmacbook prosystem-prefs

My Macbook Air OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6 gives me a notification about every 5 minutes that says Finish changing your password. I get directed to the iCloud settings when I press the detailsbutton on the notification. When System Preferences pops up a prompt also comes with it that says iCloud Preferences wants to make changes to your account. Type your password to allow this.. Nothing happens after I enter my password besides the prompt disappearing. What's going on here?

PIA vpn blocked the connection to the Apple servers. I disconnected from the VPN and it worked
