If you are using an Apple email program, your iCloud email password should be the same as your Apple ID password. If you are using a 3rd party email program, you need to enable 2 Factor Authentication on your Apple ID and create an app specific password to use. If your account won’t allow 2 Factor Authentication, try 2 step verification.
