Q: App-specific Password Required
My wife is trying to access her Messages in the Settings menu. It's now asking for an app-specific password required screen. Click on "create" and it brings you to the Apple ID site. After signing in to send the code to her phone, where do you input this code? Her iPhone and Pad were synced to send and receive text messages on both devices but for some reason, it stopped working. I tried looking it up on the boards to see what everyone else did to resolve this issue but we can't seem to get past the app-specific password requirement. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry.. are you wanting to know where to use the app specific password that you generated? Or are you having trouble generating one?
Using app-specific passwords - Apple Support
Messages should support the verification code natively, meaning you shouldn't have to use an app specific password.
Are you using 2 Step Verification or 2 Factor Authorization?
