Hey Slimmer58,


If we understand correctly, after creating an app-specific password you're having trouble switching back to the app to paste the password. If that's right, this guide on switching between apps might help: Switch between open apps on iPhone - Apple Support


Use the App Switcher
1. To see all your open apps in the App Switcher, do one of the following:
• On an iPhone with Face ID: Swipe up from the bottom of the screen, then pause in the center of the screen.
• On an iPhone with a Home button: Double-click the Home button.
2. To browse the open apps, swipe right, then tap the app you want to use.

Switch between open apps
To quickly switch between open apps on an iPhone with Face ID, swipe right or left along the bottom edge of the screen.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.


Take care!
