Q: iCloud in browser keeps asking for me to update my password

Every time I log into iCloud through a safari, I am asked to update my password. How can I get around this without having to update my password? I really don't want to update the password since then I will have to update EVERY OTHER Apple device I have and there are a lot.

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

The workaround would be to, "reset" the password you are currently using.

What's actually happening is that it is saying this:

Stronger Password Required

Avoid using a password that you use with other websites or that might be easy for someone else to guess.

My password is fine and I have had no problems with it and I don't want to reset it. How do I get around that?
