I am currently given the option to accept a Google generated password. However, I also have an iCloud email address and I use only Apple products. How are these two emails different? I thought the iCloud was just for storing all my data, but I am able to use the iCloud email address for generating and accepting emails to both my gmail and iCloud email addresses.

Did you read the link posted above? iCloud is storage on Apple's servers that securely stores your photos, files, notes, passwords, and other data in the cloud and keeps it up to date across all your devices, automatically. It syncs your data to all your devices/computers.

Hi 37BJAKD,
If we understand correctly, you want to know about using an iCloud email address. Is that right? You can use your iCloud account for syncing data between devices, and as an email address as well: Introduction to iCloud - Apple Support
While you might be able to set up forwarding from your Gmail account to the iCloud account using the Gmail webmail interface, they would be separate addresses.
Can you provide more detail about the Google-generated password question? Are you seeing a prompt to generate an app-specific password, or something else?
Let us know, and have a good one.
That is correct.
You can set up an iCloud email address when using iCloud. If you have iCloud +, you can use the Hide My Email as explained in the articles below.

Thank you very much for your reply to my question. I had to set up another email address because my pensions from two plans had to have different email addresses due to their websites. The iCloud email address is working. But I still don’t understand what “the cloud” really is. Weird!!
But it also used to set up email addresses. Correct?
Thank you for the guide which helps me significantly. I will use this option to discuss apple questions again
