My routine login to my Apple e-mail account just failed

My routine login to my Apple e-mail account just failed. neither my new Apple ID password or my old special T'bird Apple mail password xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx works.

What changed and how can I fix it?

Hi Alexander,

Publishing your Apple ID and a password is not a good idea. It does not matter much in this case because that app-specific password was revoked when you changed your Apple ID password. You will either have to generate a new app-specific password or see if this other method works (I don't know if it does): https://support.apple.com/en-us/121539
