How Do I Enable an App-Specific Password for my iCloud Account?

Apple requires iCloud users (@icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com) to generate an app-specific password to sign into their accounts on TypeApp.

In order to generate the app-specific password, Two Factor Authentication (2FA) must first be enabled. To enable 2FA, please follow the steps below:

  1. Go to My Apple ID – https://appleid.apple.com/account/home
  2. Select Manage your Apple ID and sign in.
  3. Select Password and Security.
  4. Under Two-Step Verification, select Get Started and follow the onscreen instructions.

Once you have enabled 2FA for your iCloud account, you can now generate an app-specific password to be used on TypeApp:

  1. On the page above, Select Password and Security.
  2. Click Generate an App-Specific Password (A new app password will be generated).
  3. Open TypeApp tap Settings | Account Settings | tap the account you want to update | Edit Account | Update Password | Enter the password received above.
