You may have enabled 2-step verification for the email service provider. In that case, you need to generate an App-specific password for the iOS mail app. Sign in to apps with your Apple ID using app-specific passwords - Apple Support (IN)

Trying to setup Outlook on my Mac. And with the new cacOS update Venture 13.5, it's prompting me to add "Generate App-Specific Password" (usually done through the web), on my iPhone or my Mac. It says "Continue on one of your devices On an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch go to Settings > Apple ID. On a Mac go to System Preferences or System Settings > Apple ID."


Tried iPhone and Mac...unable to find on how to "Generate App-Specific Password" anywhere under Apple ID.


Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
