App specific password

I use the same app on my mac, ipad, and iphone. Do I need a separate app-specific pw for the app on each device?

App independent passwords I was wondering if it were possible to add a password to every app downloaded on your iOS or MacOS device(s). If not I was wondering if it could or would later be implemented in upcoming OS update(s)

If you use the same app on different devices do you need a different app specific password on each device? I use some of the same apps on iPhone and iPad and iMac (email apps for example). Must I have a different password on each device? Currently that’s the way it’s set up, but since there are only 25 app specific passwords maximum, I’m running out of passwords!

If it is the same app on each, normally you only need one password. Are you having problems? If you use 2 different app specific passwords, does it work.
