Dec 5, 2014 8:45 AM in response to IIIMik3by Sir Whitelight,Same problem here, solved removing iCloud password as login password for my mac account and setting a new one (ONLY for the local account). I don't know if this is a privacy-focused security system or a bug.

Dec 7, 2014 1:54 AM in response to Sir Whitelightby IIIMik3,wow, is that all it took? I spent several hours on support chat who ultimately made me create a new user account and import all my old account data over to that one. It worked, but would have been way easier to just change the password. Oh well. It's fixed now...

Why isn't it notated anywhere? And here I thought I was making things *easier* by using my iCloud password for both. God bless you.

There must be knowledge on how to fix this provided by Apple, but I guess that you need to spend extra money for support on operating system that looks nice but is unstable on crucial parts like file-sharing and user accounts.
It's a stable as bloody windows 95.
