Generating an App specific password When I try to generate an App specific password on my iPhone 13 or my iPad, I get a message saying “Continue on one of your devices. On an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch go to settings > Apple ID.” It doesn’t say what I need to do after that and everything I have tried takes me back to the same message eventually….. There dont seem to be any App Specific passwords at the moments so it isn’t because I have used all 25. what do I need to do? thanks

From: Require a password for App Store and iTunes purchases - Apple Support

Require a password on your iPhone or iPad

1. Open the Settings app.

2. Tap your name.

3. Tap Media & Purchases.

4. Tap Password Settings, then choose the setting that you want.

Hopefully you can find the reason there.
