Your iCloud email password and your Apple ID password are one and the same.

That's not true. Your iCloud email can have a completely different password. They are not one & the same. the number of people trying to figure out their iCloud email password should prompt Apple to address this easily remedied problem.

One solution would be to automatically change the email password so it matches every time the iCloud password is changed.

That's not true. Your iCloud email can have a completely different password.

Not if it is also your Apple ID.

One can, but shouldn't, have multiple Apple IDs.

If your Apple ID has a different password than your iCloud email address, you have 2 Apple IDs.

For 2 different accounts.

Apple IDs require a valid email address to identify them, but that email address does not have to be a iCloud email address.

You might be mistaken. When I log into my Apple ID through a browser, I get access to the iCloud email address I'm trying to recover/change the password for. So this is not a problem of 2 different Apple IDs.

Crazy. Verizon account which is run by iCloud. So if I change the iCloud account password. All 3 will be the same- correct.

I have tried my apple ID and it isn't the same. 

What do you mean? What is your issue? Do you have a separate Apple account for iCloud than for your Apple ID? When you go to: Apple - My Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID, do you see your iCloud email address listed right under your Apple ID in the "Reachable At" list?

When I bought my first Iphone coming from Android, the salesman did not tell me that I had to have a @icloud account so I used my regular email as my Apple ID.  After getting home and going through the phone and learning about it, I came across apple email.  and I created one, now I do not remember that password, it is not the same as what goes with my apple ID. I wish I could delete the @icloud email account because I never use it, but I can not seem to be able to do that either.

@icloud email is actually listed as an alias to my apple ID email.

Listed as an Alias where? Did you look at your actual Apple ID page using the link I provided?

An Alias is not an iCloud account ID, so that wouldn't be something you can sign in anywhere, nor would it have a password associated with it.

So, I'm still not clear on what you are attempting to do?

Just because you see your iCloud mail address listed there doesn't mean it is the same password as for your Apple ID. I have just visited that page and I'm still getting a message saying that my iCloud mail needs fixing.

If, on your Apple ID page, you see your iCloud.com address listed just below your Apple ID email address, then it is, in fact, the same as your Apple ID, and as for passwords, it is the same password.

Now, if you have a password for the email account that is used by your Apple ID email address, that is not the same as your Apple ID account. So, if that's what you mean, then fine.

But in terms of an Apple ID account and the password that goes with that Apple ID account, it is the same for the Apple ID as it is for the iCloud.com version of the Apple ID. They are the same account, the same password.

Can you explain to me then, why when I'm notified that my iCloud email account needs updating, do I still get the same message after clicking 'fix account' and inputting the password for my Apple ID?

I do not understand the circumstances you are describing. What do you mean "when you are notified that your iCloud email account needs updating"?

What "exact same message" are you asking about and what clicking "fix account" option appears and at what point?

Cheers,
