Why can't I get an app-specific password?

I have tried to get an app specific password and everything seems to be correct. I have two factor authentication enabled, but when I go to generate a password, it says to continue on one of my other devices. When I open it up to settings and my app ID nothing happens. I click ok on the message, and still nothing happens.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

Hey CYates23,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If you haven't already, try while using a different browser to see if that helps to create that app-specific password. Just in case, here are the steps to create that: Sign in to apps with your Apple ID using app-specific passwords - Apple Support


Let us know how it goes.


Take care!
