I don't know about how to solve this, but I'm seeing the same problem
and it started around the same time it seems. Did you get anywhere with
this?
FWIW I haven't changed my password for a long time. The dialog box just
started appearing and doesn't accept the password.
I'm going to try to investigate later.
I had a similar problem with gmail, I found I had to decrease the
security settings, there is now a 2-step more secure login/password
setup for gmail..
I think this might help:

Verification
To turn off enhanced two-step verification for your Gmail account:
* Go to the Google /2-step verification
<
https://accounts.google.com/b/0/SmsAuthConfig?hl=en&service=mail>/ page.
* If prompted, enter your Gmail password under /Password:/ and
click /Sign in/.
* Click /Turn off 2-step verification…/.
* Now click /OK/.
