icloudmacospassword
I recently changed my iCloud password on my iPhone but the password to log in to my Macbook Pro (running Yosemite) hasn't changed. When I click change password it says that my account is using my iCloud password.
How do I get my Mac to update the password it is using?
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.
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).

Go to settings User and groups, then click Change password... and click use iCloud password or, simply Reconfigure the password
