App specific icloud mail password

You're referring to the App-Specific Password (ASP) feature in iCloud Mail!

An App-Specific Password is a unique password that you can generate for a specific app or service to access your iCloud Mail account. This feature is useful when you want to grant access to your iCloud Mail account to an app or service without sharing your main iCloud account password.

Here's how to generate an App-Specific Password:

On a Mac or PC:

  1. Go to the Apple ID account page and sign in with your Apple ID and password.
  2. Click on "Security" and then click on "Generate App-Specific Password".
  3. Enter a name for the app or service you want to grant access to (e.g., "My Email Client").
  4. Click "Generate" to generate the App-Specific Password.
  5. You'll see the App-Specific Password. Make sure to copy it and store it securely.

On an iOS device:

  1. Go to Settings > [your name] > Password & Security.
  2. Tap on "App-Specific Passwords".
  3. Tap on "Generate Password" and enter a name for the app or service you want to grant access to (e.g., "My Email Client").
  4. Tap "Generate" to generate the App-Specific Password.
  5. You'll see the App-Specific Password. Make sure to copy it and store it securely.

Using the App-Specific Password:

Once you have generated the App-Specific Password, you can use it to configure your email client or app to access your iCloud Mail account. You'll need to enter the App-Specific Password in the email client or app's settings.

Remember to store the App-Specific Password securely, as you would with any other password. If you lose the App-Specific Password, you can always generate a new one by following the same steps.
