i followed the exact steps of the app specific passwords but when i press continue a notification pops out which says to continue on my phone and i followed the steps there but there are no options to add an app specific password.

To add to the discussion, this is just a few of many similar topics I have seen about this, but Chris_V89 is the first verified Apple official I have seen who has dared mention trying to use a non-Safari browser.

- "The solution to the problem is not to allow the iPhone or Mac to sign you in automatically with FaceID or TouchID, but instead I found complete success in manually signing in with my Apple ID and password, which then prompted a two-factor authentication prompt and code. Following that sequence, I was able to successfully revoke and add app-specific passwords."

- So I ended up getting on the phone with Apple about this… turns out it was an issue with Safari. As soon as I tried to create a new app-specific password in Chrome, it worked perfectly.

Hey there bethanyythe,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.

To get started, does this issue occur when trying to generate an app-specific password at the Apple ID website in Safari? If so, to help with troubleshooting the issue further, try testing the issue in another web browser, if possible.

Keep us updated on the results.

Take care!
