I attempted to generate an app specific password and read that apple does not generate apps specific passwords on my Apple ID page

I attempted to generate an app specific password and was told it is not done by the security section labeled generate an app specific password. What's up with that?

How to generate an app-specific password

  1. Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
  2. In the Security section, click Generate Password below App-Specific Passwords.
  3. Follow the steps on your screen.

After you generate your app-specific password, enter or paste it into the password field of the app as you would normally.
