I changed my password for my Apple ID using my MacBook but it does not seem to have updated on the iCloud or the Apple ID website. So now I have 2 different passwords for the same Apple ID. The Apple ID website puts the correct date I changed my password but it has not updated to the same as my other devices! I don't understand this. I thought the website would automatically updated when I change the password on another device. I'm really confused now.
Hi apple-in-the-jeans,
Just to confirm, did you change your Apple ID password or the login password on your Mac with these steps: Change the login password on Mac. If you changed your login password, this does not impact your Apple ID password.
You would need to follow these steps to Change your Apple ID password.
Change your Apple ID password on your Mac
1. Choose Apple menu > System Settings (or System Preferences), then click your name (or Apple ID).
2. Click Password & Security.
3. Click Change Password. Before you can reset your Apple ID password, you'll be required to enter the password used to unlock your Mac.
The following resource has information on What to do after you change your Apple ID or password.
Cheers.

Thank you for your reply. I spoke with Apple Support and I realised what was happening. I was confusing the Apple ID password with the Mac password.
Hey apple-in-the-jeans,
