Icloud email password say example1@gmail.com is not signed in Mac / iPhone / iPad it will be treated as web mail address , however you had used to sign in Mac / iPhone / iPad previously , but changed it from appleid.apple.com and set up a new mail address it could be example2@icloud.com or with some other web mail address used with yahoo , hotmail ....

Change the password from web account , it depends which web mail account was used .
