me.com e-mail password not same as Apple ID?

Please, I am having a problem with my email account password... I am able to successfully sign in to iCloud on any computer and view my me.com eMail and other files from there, however I have my me.com eMail account on my dell laptop (Outlook) and on my samsung phone and for some reason _both_ will not accept my apple password, and I do not know how to edit it via icloud settings. Any thoughts? Thanks, Gigi

You need to enable 2 Factor Authentication on your Apple ID and create an app specific password to use. If your account won’t allow 2 Factor Authentication, try 2 step verification.
