'AWS IAM error : 'Your authentication information is incorrect. Please try again'

I am getting the error after I create an IAM user with AdministratorAccess or AmazonEC2FullAccess:

Your authentication information is incorrect. Please try again

I was able to create a user without a problem two weeks ago, while having active users. Now adding more new users gives me this error. I have tried creating new users using Copy permissions from existing user too but these new users also error out. (Picture of aws iam steps taken with error)

I apologize if this is a duplicate but an answer to a previous post of how to log in with new iam user did not solve my issue. I added

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "*",
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

to inline policy JSON for this user but it still did not help.

I end up switching to use Autogenerated password option and my users are now able to get in. retest using the custom password and it's working now too. Something must of gotten fix on AWS.

If you are unable to login to your AWS root account with MFA code/Token number please try to set date and time correct as for me i was unable to login to my root account so i set the time zone correctly so follow the same it will work.
