I'm trying to add a new app-specific password, and every time I try I get a message saying "Continue on one of your devices" What am I supposed to do on another device?

Hello, I had the same problem and managed to fix it! How? I guess you connected automatically with Face ID or something like that on the appleID web page. Just do not do that. Enter manually your iCloud email (whateveritis@icloud.com) and your password, manually. I did it and it worked.

This may have worked for some but, declining the use of Face ID to sign into your account and manual typing it in prompts two-factor authentication. After entering the 6 digit unique passcode I had no issue with generating a unique passcode for the app I needed it for.

In Safari I got the "Continue on one of your devices" message.

I used Vivaldi browser to log into my Apple ID and the app specific password was generated as expected.

Me too. The using Chrome worked for me as well. Pretty frustrating that even after clearing caches and history that safari doesn't work for this.

That finally worked for me! The website does require one more time to enter the Apple ID password before generating the app specific one, but that seems to do the trick.

Same issue using Safari - worked with Chrome.

As others have mentioned, not signing in with Face ID and instead signing in normally got it working for me.

Same for me... had to switch to Edge browser to get this to work.... Won't work with Safari! How sad is that from Apple??

thanks for sharing the articles and the instruction

however, its all there and we did follow but after that step of adding the message will

"

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.

"

so when we go to any devices we have nothin to do !!

I'm having the same problem. Have never had to go to one of my devices to complete this process. Not clear where I'm supposed to go once I get to the Apple ID page on another device. Instructions seem vague. Can we have a solution to this problem, please?

chrome doesn’t work either for me

Hi ethanslights,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities! To generate an app specific password, follow these steps:

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."

Find this guidance in the article Sign in to apps with your Apple ID using app-specific passwords.

Hope that helps!

Yup, this doesn’t help, I’m having the same issue, stuck in a circular loop with the “continue on your device” message. If I click Revoke enough times (or Add) on iCloud.com, it will eventually give me a general error, with no detailed explanation. This should probably be fixed, no? (Currently on iOS 17.0 (21A5303d) - iPhone 14 Pro Max)
