Q: iCloud.com email address password fails

I've recently been unable to log into my iCloud.com email account. I deleted the account profile in Thunderbird and recreated it. When I went through the recreation process, Thunderbird eventually tells me, when it checks the password, that either the username or the password is incorrect.

I do not use my iCloud.com address as my AppleID.

When I log into iCloud using my AppleID and password, it works fine.

Is it possible for somebody to hack into and change my iCloud.com email apssword?

Regards,

Norman
