I get a pop-up dialog saying I need to create an App Specific PW,
but it doesn't tell me for which App it's needed, so I don't know how to label it when I create it; kinda crazy making.
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
Started-up the iMac, and up popped a dialog saying I needed to create an App Specific password, with no indication of which App needed the password created for it.
The box behind this is std Apple ID password request. It will not accept my Apple ID Password, keeps throwing the request back up; am certain of my PW. Could it need an App Specific PW for APPLE ID? or iCloud? Confused here.
On startup I auto-launch the following:
What else can I provide?
I guess I can disable the auto-start items one by one and restart each time to eliminate.
BTW, this does repeat with each restart.
thanks
Please tell us a more detailed story - we need to understand everything about your system and what you were doing
The end of the story is no good without the context 😉
I'll guess the calendar app.
If it asks iCloud for data, it needs an app specific password.
If the above doesn't work, try Insync and Messages.
Thanks All, got it.
Removed all 'Auto-Start' items from Login Items (Preferences/Users&Groups/Login Items), then added back one at a time with a restart following each.
it was Messages App
