Since it happened with iCloud, until you changed your password, and now Podcast, even still after entering your new password, I suspect it’s probably a conflict with your local and iCloud Keychain, (Most likely).
I’d think refreshing the local keychain would probably cure things if you know all of your account credentials and/or have them stored in iCloud on another device and/or have a Time Machine backup.
If you do have a copy of your passwords, follow these steps:
- Open Finder, select “Go” on the top menu, hold “Option” on your keyboard, (Only then you will see “Library” under the Go menu.
- Select “Library”, then open the “Keychains” folder. Select All by pressing Command A.
- To de activate the current keychain, while saving a local copy, while all is selected, on the top menu select “File” then “New Folder (With Selection)”, press “Enter on the keyboard after entering your Admin password if asked.
- Restart your Mac.

If you use iCloud Keychain on other devices, the passwords should sync again, and if they don’t for some reason, you should only have to input them once to save and not again.
