Help , I can't setup my iCloud email on my android device

When I try to setup my iCloud email on my android device, I am told the password is incorrect, but it is the same password I use for iCloud( which works) .


I tried setting it up on the Gmail app on my phone as well as Outlook for Android.


Any suggestions ?


Thank you ... M

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.
