Q: keeps asking for correct iCloud password
The past few days I've been getting this window popping up asking me to enter my iCloud password. When I enter the correct one, it says it is incorrect and to enter the correct one.
I have not changed my iCloud password at all recently. Could this be related by any chance to the fact I now have IOS 8 and the new Cloud Drive? I did not elect to use the Cloud Drive as I believe I need to wait until Yosemite is installed down the road. Any help would be appreciated

Fantastical is asking for a password because Apple are now requiring app-specific password for third-party applications to access iCloud if you have set up two-step verification (in other words you have to obtain an individual password for any non-Apple program that wants to access iCloud).
Select 'Password and Security'; click 'Generate an App-Specific Password' and follow the instructions. Once you have the password, copy it and paste it into the password field in Fantastical. You should also keep a note of it (though you can generate a new one if required)
