You don’t.


Your AppleID is protected by Apple’s own cryptologically-based 2FA.


Those fields within “Passwords” are for other web sites that use Timed One Time Passwords (TOTP) as part of their authentication process.


i.e. It replaces the need for a separate Authenticator App on your device (e.g. Google Authenticator).
