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

I had the exact same issue and found a solution that might also work for you. Try using Chrome or a browser other than Safari. Sounds odd that Apple's browser is currently choking on generating app-specific passwords, but there you go, give it a shot.

Thanks - I tried using different browser but didn’t work for me. In the end I had to log out of everything and start again with my login. It must have cleared an old cookie or something that was causing the issue.
Just spoke with a rock star senior tech at Apple Support.
She advised me of a work around. DO NOT use FaceID or TouchID when you sign in to http://appleid.apple.com go old school and "use other" meaning your user name and password.
Good luck!
