Default App store Password not working

Have had the same password forever and used it fine earlier today. Now it's not working. Tried resetting and that didn't work either. Anyone else having this issue?

Thanks, I logged out and logged back in. I'm not getting a message saying my password is incorrect, but now apps that I want to download just won't download via the iTunes app store on my phone. When I try to download an app, I get a "waiting" status with the app. Grrrr.

Any chance you are having network issues?

Are you able to download apps from the computer? But unable to from your device? If unable to download from within the device, check your settings. Settings>Store. Log into your acct on your device and see whether you have "Use Cellular Data" turned off or on. I don't know if this is issue but worth a look. I keep "Use Cellular Data" turned off because my area has barely any reception.

Nope, no network issues. Also, my iTunes match is now having issues as well. Whenever I try to download one of my songs available via iTunes Match, it asks me for my password, but then won't download anything. This is so annoying because I pay a lot for all this. Not only do I pay for iTunes match, but I also pay for additional storage. This service is great when it works, but if Apple is going to have outages like this, it's not worth the money.

I have a feeling that this has something to do with the recent expansion of iCloud and all the problems people are experiencing with that -

Well you are def wrong about it being an addition because of iCloud people with the very first iPhone had this issue it's not new. I suggest calling apple support or visiting a apple store

I have been on the phone with Apple for the better part of the last hour. They are now saying that the issue is specific to my iTunes account and they are investigating it. So, I have to wait and they will hopefully call me back within an hour and get it resolved.
