AppleID login will not work in Xcode but works in Safari

My client has a developer account.

I've made apps for them before.

Now, however it seems that there is something wrong with their account as the account details work In Safari to log into developer.apple.com and itunesconnect.com but will not work when adding an account in Xcode itself.

We discovered this because I was trying to find out why my developer account was not showing their team - even though I have been added there. We tried me as a an app manager, a developer, we even tried adding me as an admin!

I've tried deleting the profiles etc. on my Mac, removed the accounts in Xcode and re-added them, restarted, and everything else I can think of.

At the moment when I try to sign one of their apps manually it shows "Unknown Name" as the team.

Any ideas anyone?

Okay, well I've discovered the client has created the developer account as an individual account not as an organisation - that explains why I can see App Store Connect but not the team in developer.apple.com

Why the main owner/admin account won't work in Xcode (even on a brand new M1 Mac) is still a mystery but I am gonna get my client to migrate their individual account to an organisation account and add me as an app manager or developer and then it should all work.
