[BUG] Says the password is wrong, despite it is not

[smhpk-1]

Hello,
Using this for a few years now. The password login does not work anymore. I used to renew my password and after it accepts, I put my verification code with the command below:
su-exec abc icloud --username=XXXXXX --session-directory=/config/session_data

It does not accept my password anymore... Cannot login. Does not work.

Thanks.

I'm seeing the same behavior on one of two icloud accounts. On one account, no problem, I enter the password and the 2FA code pops up, enter that, and all good. On my wife's account, I enter the password and it's reject every time. Some users reported that changing the password helps, but I've tried that several times unsuccessfully.

docker exec -it icloud-emily /bin/sh -c "su-exec abc icloud --username=redacted@redacted.com --session-directory=/config/session_data"

May be try setting application password and using it? This is server-side issue. Nothing much can be done in the app.
