The error I am getting is when I try to set up the iCloud account in Outlook. It works fine on my iPhone & iPad, but Outlook keeps giving me this error during set-up. It worked fine up through Oct 2020, but there have been no updates on my PC since. But to answer your question, I am not using an app specific password.

If you have the latest version of iCloud for Windows, you won't need one if signed in.


That's why I sent the article.
