App specific password generation process is not working

The process for generating app specific password has worked in the past but does not seem to work any more. Message I get: Your app ID or password is incorrect.

The Apple ID is a .com address. The devices I used to setup email are MacOS and iPhone.

What am I missing?

So I know for a fact I'm using the correct info. It asks for BOTH my email and UserID, which are the same, and I have verified that. What is the deal?????
