You can use the same password for multiple applications, but most people advise not doing that because if the password gets compromised, whoever has the password can access a lot of your data.

If you use the same app on different devices do you need a different app specific password on each device? I use some of the same apps on iPhone and iPad and iMac (email apps for example). Must I have a different password on each device? Currently that’s the way it’s set up, but since there are only 25 app specific passwords maximum, I’m running out of passwords!
