How do I create an app specific password for my @mac.com email account.

The system app specific password generator defaults to generating one for @icloud.com. My mac.com account is still valid, since I have had it for so long, but I am unable to hook-up it up without a password...


How do I generate a password for mac.com.


Thanks.
