Apple ID not generating an app specific password

Hey there DNS1131,

Thanks so much for using Apple Support Communities.

We want to help you get this app-specific password generated so you can get Alexa working as expected again. It should be generating on the screen for you. Be sure the browser you're using isn't blocking popups or having issues. If you need to, feel free to use a different browser to generate the passwords.

The steps you're going to want to follow can be found in this article, but we'll copy and paste them below to make it easier: Sign in to apps with your Apple ID using app-specific passwords - Apple Support

The section you'll want to focus on is as follows:

How to generate an app-specific password



1. Sign in to appleid.apple.com.

2. In the Sign-In and Security section, select App-Specific Passwords.

3. Select Generate an app-specific password or select the Add button , then follow the steps on your screen.

4. Enter or paste the app-specific password into the password field of the app.

We would recommend going through those steps and clicking through the article for more information.

We hope that this information gets everything working again.

Many thanks!

I just ran into this same problem. I found the process only generates a password if you use two factor to login to the appleid.apple website to begin with. I used Chrome and it prompted me to two factor login, I was able to generate a password and login into Alexa and link the calendar that way. Hope that helps!

I followed these steps and it did not produce the password. The message prompted me to go into settings > Apple ID. But that path doesn’t lead to a password. Yes, my two factor is turned on.

This absolutely worked! Thank you for the tip.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was going crazy. Neither Apple nor Amazon could help.
