Q: Password Change and iCloud
I recently attempted to change my password and suddenly realized I wish I hadn't. The coordination between devices has gone crazy. Each time I log on to a different device I get overwhelmed with device/software password requests. Keychain won't accept the correct password and more. The "cloud" seems adrift in space. It all started when my iPhone kept giving me password invalid message when attempting to pay for an iTunes related in-app purchase. Couldn't get it to work so I changed my AppleID password which started a tumble roll of events. The password change seemed to work OK at first. But as I began using other devices - Mac Pro - iPad - AppleTV I had to enter the new password into everything and still my iPhone won't pay for the in-app purchase. I've never experienced so much trouble with Apple products - a devoted Mac fan since the day they came out. Please help!! I'm still getting prompts from message service and other services and sign in prompts for connecting to other computers on the network when it used to connect right up. I even thought of going back to the old password but you can't do that either. Changing passwords frequently is normally encouraged for security purposes but at this point it's not recommended.
Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1), MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone, AppleTV

Try running Keychain Access/First Aid and resetting the original keychain.
Delete the password from Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities). While there, Keychain Access menu First Aid.

Have you tried signing out of iCloud everywhere and then sign back in?
