How the heck do I change my Apple ID password?

[dmk1974]

So wayyy back before iCloud, I had used email address A (non-Apple) for my Apple ID. Bought apps, etc with it. Then when iCloud came around, I had to create another Apple ID (email address B, .icloud.com) for full cloud and family integration. Since then, I have my app store with email address A and the rest with B.

Well, today it prompted me to change my Apple ID password. Ok, I was able to do it for the icloud address B no problem. But can't figure out how to change it for address A. From a webpage, I log in and it tells me for password reset to do it from a device and not a web browser. Ok. I grab my iPhone, try to do it, it kicks to a web page on my iPhone telling me the same thing! Is there some trick here to change it for address A? I really wish Apple would allow to just MERGE the addresses to the single iCloud account already! I'd dump A but there's a ton of historical purchase on that one.

Thanks!

Try using appleid.apple.com to log into address A and change the password.

Yes, that's exactly where I went first. When I try via web page (from computer or iPhone) I get this:

Create another user account on one of your Macs and login into iCloud within that newly created account. From there you should be able to change the password for the Apple ID.

I figured it out. It was because of that stolen device protection. I toggled it off and was able to change my password after logging into the apple ID website no problem.
