App specific passwords?
There is no App Specific Passwords section in my Apple ID account page. Where could I get my app specific password?

In order to do this you need to
set up two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, and for this you
need to have either a Mac running El Capitan or above, or an iOS device
running iOS9 or above.

If you are unable to set up two-factor authentication you should set up
2-step verification and use that to create an app-specific password
(see link below) . Then go to https://appleid.apple.com , select
'Password and Security'; click 'Generate an App-Specific
Password' and follow the instructions. Once you have the password, copy
it and paste it into the password field in the application instead of
your usual iCloud password. You should also keep a note of it (though
you can generate a new one if required).

You will need to nominate a 'trusted device' - any phone capable of
receiving SMS messages. There will be a 2-day wait before you can
complete the process.
(A particular caveat (about 2-step only) - you will be issued with a
'Recovery Key' in case you lose your 'trusted device'. Make sure to
write this down and keep it in a safe place; if you lose both it and
your trusted device you will be permanently locked out of your ID.
You'd be surprised at the number of people who've posted here that
they've got themselves into just that position.)
