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
So rather than disregard the entire thread and move on, everyone just opts to complain about Apple, on an Apple community, rather than offer any advice.
I’m on Reddit again.
No one is forcing you to use apple products. Take your trolling somewhere else please and thank you.
I mean, you should drop any company that forces you to use only their devices to access services that aren’t exclusive to those devices.
This stinks of antitrust behavior to me.
I’m not sure what accidental journey through Gmail’s options OP took but it looks to me that they inadvertently started setting up a passkey, which is tied to the hardware but can sync between Apple devices using iCloud Keychain. Apple certainly isn’t blocking you from changing Gmail-specific settings.
Are you trying this in Safari?
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.
