This doesn't work as this is simply a password vault if you will for websites.


The app-specific passwords is a feature in iCloud where you an app specific password is generated for third party access to your iCloud account. So for instance, when I want to add my iCloud email to my Outlook for iPad program I can't add it due to two. party authentication. Apple lets me go into manage my apple ID and generate a special password just to use with that app which bypasses the two party authentication. You can see which apps you have done this for. But there is no way that I can see to go back and find that password again.


Search App Specific Password on Apple support for more information regarding what the feature is. Thanks for the attempt to help though! Much appreciated.
