Weird. Upgraded to 8.1 from 8.0.2 today and several hours later, a popup showed up on my phone (while in the music app playing itunes radio) telling me to log into icloud. But it wouldn't accept my password no matter how carefully I typed it - watching the screen VERY carefully to make sure I hit the right letter/number. Then, I went into the itunes store and it asked me the same thing but for my appleid (which is the same actually), and again it kept re-popping as if I'd entered wrong password!

So, I went to icloud on the web and it said, "Your appleid has been locked". Now, I hadn't gotten ANY emails from apple indicating anybody messing about in my account. So I'm pretty sure *I* accidentally locked my account during those login attempts! I had to reset it, type the SAME password in, and this time my phone accepted it!

WTH?
