Reset icloud email password NOT apple ID

Suddenly, Outlook on my macbook has stopped checking my icloud email and says it has an incorrect password. This email address is NOT my apple ID. I need to reset the icloud email password but, preferably, not my apple ID password. How do I do this?

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.
