How to find Password on Incoming Mail Server Settings

I am trying to add my iCloud account on my Gmail App

it asks me the incoming server settings

Can you please help trying to find it on icloud.com?

I already follow the instructions here - Mail server settings for iCloud email clients - Apple Support

Username and Password is incorrect

Where do I find the accurate, and correct password?

Your screen shot shows the primary mail address signed in www.icloud.com is example1@me.com and secondary mail address added as example2@icloud.com

And as per the article Create an email address for iCloud Mail - Apple Support

Note: If you set up iCloud using an Apple ID that ends with @mac.com or @me.com, you don’t need to set up an @icloud.com email address to use iCloud Mail. You already have an equivalent address that ends with @icloud.com.

So enter with account credentials at appleid.apple.com and remove the mail address example2@icloud.com see the section - Delete an additional email address in the article About your Apple ID email addresses - Apple Support


You can add gmail account to iCloud .

And add in Mac system preferences > internet account Add an internet account - Apple Support

You can also create a new Apple ID using gmail address from www.icloud.com see the web account section in the article How to create a new Apple ID - Apple Support

When gmail account is set in Mac and configured with iCloud you don't need to manually add port settings , even you try to add it won't keep all as empty .
