I was trying to make an app-specific password for gmail and this came up. There aren’t any new options in the apple id settings, so idk what to do

I can only ever get this to work by signing into appleid.apple.com on the web browser. Should be a spot right on the first menu for App Specific Password

This seems to be the solution. I found a thread where someone had the same problem and what you suggested fixed it for them.

Are you trying this in Safari?

Pretty sure it is a bug. Use a different browser and it should work fine, I used edge. I got apple support on the phone and this was this solution. Was not interested is making a bug report, just suggested I leave feedback which is just like pissing into the wind.

Use any other browser than Safari and it should work.
