HT204397: Using app-specific passwords

Q: Since I had to change my AppleID I am repeatedly being asked for my iCloud password and to generate app-specific passwords.

Since I had to change my AppleID because I have a new ISP and e-mail address I am repeatedly being asked for my iCloud password and to generate app-specific passwords.  How can I stop this?  Also, when I get the pop-up requesting I generate an app-specific password it does not say which app the password applies to.  How do you know?  This seems to happen each time after I am requested to sign in to iCloud.  Also, I seem to be repeatedly asked to sign in to iCloud as if I have entered the wrong password, but I know the password is correct.
