Trouble adding my iCloud address to Spark

I installed Spark as an alternative to Mail for my iCloud and Gmail addresses and for the iCloud one it asks for an app-specific password generated by Apple just for this program but with any of the automatically generated passwords it says "Authentication Error" because it could be wrong. But it's not wrong because I tried many times, even without the dashes. If anyone had the same problem and found a way to fix it please tell me.

Authentication Error when trying to connect my iCloud account to Spark macOS client. Dear all, I am having problems following the procedure indicated on the Spark documentation to connect the iCloud account to the Spark macOS client. The steps I performed are the following: Click "add account" on Spark and select "iCloud." Open my AppleID (which mail has the gmail.com domain). Generate the "App-specific password." Go back to Spark: add my @icloud.com account and copy the just generated "App-specific password." However, all I get is the error: "Unable to authenticate with the current session's credentials. Make sure to use the App-specific password." What should I do? I tried different combinations, as: generate the password and then start the "add account" procedure in Spark generate the password and then restart Spark remove and regenerate the passwords on the fly Nothing seems to work. When I enter the AppleID "Personal Information," and I look at "Reachable at," my two mails (gmail and icloud) are both present. I really do not understand what can be wrong. Thank you in advance for your help! Best, Andrea

Can't generate App-specific Password on iPad I use Readdle Software's Spark as my email client. Recently, it somehow lost its app-specific password and I've been tearing out what hair I have left trying to generate an app-specific password. The old ASP that I entered was rejected and I was directed to this page to create a new one. To generate a new ASP several dialog boxes pop up (see screenshots). The last one says to go to Settings > Apple ID. And once there, what do I do? There are no further directions and I still don't have an ASP for Spark. Please, what's the next step in the process? Spark isn't the only app that I need to create an ASP for but every attempt resukts in the same dead end. What magic do I have to perform to generate an ASP that I can paste into Spark? Thank you, Tod
