ICloud says Password is Wrong Even Though I Know It’s Right

icloudpassword

iCloud says that my password is wrong – even though I know it's right.

Here's whats happened: Yesterday, I reset my iCloud password. Got the reset email, changed password. Tried to log in to the account, didn't accept it. I thought that maybe my finger had slipped typing in the password (twice). I called support, got the reset email.

Now, here's the really, really weird thing: I wanted to make sure I got the password right – so I typed my password into TextEdit, copied it into the reset fields and reset the password. After reseting it, I immediately went to icloud.com and tried to log in using the copied password from TextEdit. The passwords are the same. iCloud won't let me in.

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

enter image description here

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.
