emailhackingicloudpassword
I have been using iCloud for a few months now with no problems until today.
My mobile flagged up that I cannot login to my iCloud email account due to:
Server password has been changed. Input the changed password.
I didn't change any passwords. Can someone help point me in the right direction of where I can find help please?
Not a solution just a verification. Since you can not see the password, that you pasted or typed I sugest to verify what is in the password field.
For that Open iCloud in Chrome In the log in paste your password- But DO NOT try to log in.
Now to make it visible do following: Right click on the password field and select "Inspect Element"
That will open a new window that looks like this
Move the cursor on the password field: there will be a highlighted line in the bottom window as you can see:
Right click on the highlighted line and select Edit Attribute
Now it will highlight the word "type", now you write "show" instead "type"
Magic, now it will show what is in you password field.
You can contact Apple via Apple Support. Select "More Products and Services" followed by "Apple ID". On the following page you asked to choose a topic, select "Other Apple ID Topics" followed by "Lost or Forgotten Apple ID Password". You will then be asked if you would like an Apple support specialist to contact you, or if you would like to schedule a call at a later date.
I suspect they are going to ask you a series of billing related questions to verify your identity. If they are able to verify your identity, you should be able to provide them an alternate email for the password reset link.
Good Luck :)

I just contacted Apple Support and they confirmed this was a new Apple ID authentication issue. Basically, iCloud has deemed that my account should not just have one password, but a dual-verification which, once completed, generates app-specific passwords for each device used (Apple devices or not).
