How do I find the password generated by Apple Sign In?

Some time ago, I created an account with a cloud storage service and I used “Apple Sign In” to do so. Now for various reasons, I need to know the password that was generated when I originally used Apple to sign me up. I suspect that this is where an app specific password might be the answer but I don’t know and I can’t find any real instructions on how to do that. I found the email that had been generated in the Hide My Email section and then created an app specific password but the cloud service says that “@privaterelay.applied.com” is not proper email format and refuses to accept it. There is no “forgot my password” option available either. I have over a hundred gigs of files in that cloud service and no way to sign in. How can I find the original password that Apple generated when I signed up?

If you forgot the Apple ID (iCloud) password, enter the Apple (iCloud) ID, and click Forgot Password. See if you can get a Rescue or Notification email option if necessary. Link to contact Apple Support at the end of the 2nd article.

If you have 2 Factor Authentication enabled, if you can't recover the password using the steps above, you will need to use Account Recovery. The Recovery Process is an automated process and the length of time it takes can vary a lot. Apple ID Support can only answer your questions. They can't intervene in or speed up the process. The article below has some suggestions to shorten the time the process takes.

If you have changed your password, have you followed the steps in this article on all devices/computers?

You must have not read my question that carefully. I did not ask anything about my Apple ID password. I asked how to find the password that is generated when you use Apple Sign In to create an account in an app that supports Apple Sign In.

Thanks anyway.
