resetting iCloud alias password

I have created an iCloud alias email address.


Now I cannot recall the password to access it.


How do I reset or recall the password for this alias email address/account ?


Thanks for any help.

Aliases are not accounts and do not have their own password. Any messages to the alias will be delivered to the main inbox alongside messages to the primary address, and can be accessed in the usual way.


If you are signed into iCloud on your Mac or device and have Mail enabled such messages will appear automatically. If you are accessing your mail through icloud.com you just sign into it with your usual ID and password.
