When I set up my new computer that was running 10.11, I enabled the checkbox that my accounts password should mirror my iCloud password.

However, due to Apple's inability to handle web services, some of my devices kept logging out from iCloud, and at one point Apple decided that my behaviour was suspicious and that I need to change my iCloud password and so I did. This was a month ago and everything has been working ok with the new password and an update to 10.12.

However, now I was looking in Safari's settings and I clicked "Show passwords for selected websites" in the Password menu. And guess what, it only works if I type my old iCloud password.
(I had a similar accident a week ago with something about the keychain but I don't remember the details)

What's up with this?
