- "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.

after step two it asks me to continue on a device, go to settings the Apple ID, thats where im stuck going there dosent do or indicate to do anything. because (assuming its private relay) using another browser *now won't let me log in to Apple ID using another browser. I have to sign into chrome with my google account every time I use it then it logs me out. going to apple for iCloud or Apple ID will not let me log in with my CORRECT password, its like everything buy safari is blocked
