Third-Party Apps Will Need App-Specific Passwords for iCloud Access From June 15. To generate an app-specific password. Longtime Mac accessory vendor OWC today announced that it has.

As you all know, 2FA / MFA, or 2 Factor Authentication / Multi Factor Authentication is the recommended security protocol for all online accounts. If you've been using iCloud, formerly known as Mobile Me, for the past several years, you probably know 2FA is now available. I finally got around to enabling it on my accounts over the weekend and thought I would write a little how-to blog post as I didn't feel there was enough written guidance on their KB page. First, assuming you are using at least iOS9 or OS X El Capitan, you can enable 2FA for iCloud by performing the following steps. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 9 or later: Go to Settings > iCloud > tap your Apple ID. Tap Password & Security.

Tap Turn on Two-Factor Authentication. On your Mac with OS X El Capitan or later: Go to Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Account Details.

Click Security. Click Turn on Two-Factor Authentication. After you have enabled 2FA for your devices, you will need to update the authentication for any applications using your iCloud account. In my case, I had to update the authentication for Microsoft Outlook 2016. You will need to generate an 'app specific password,' which you can do from your account management portal.

Note: This will also test and confirm 2FA is working for your iCloud account as you will have to allow access to the web page from one of your devices. From there, you will want to navigate to the 'Security' section, ensure Two Factor Authentication is on, and then find 'Generate Password.'

Simply copy the password and paste that into your application requesting your iCloud password; in my case, I pasted the provided password into my Outlook 2016 for Mac pop-up window.

Some things Word 2011 can do that Word 2010 can not: * Notebook layout view for taking notes in class * Publishing layout view for making newsletters * Advanced Typography to take advantage of Unicode fonts (Word 2010 for Windows will display the fancy fonts, but can't actually use them like you can on the Mac) The file formats are identical, so there's no compatibility issues at all.

Some services that connect to your calendar or contacts info (like, for example) will require that you generate an app-specific password in order to use it all. Alternatively, you could use an app-specific password with a program like to allow it access to your data without giving it your main Apple ID credentials. So how do you generate an app-specific password for your Apple ID? Well, you’ll need to log in to your account online to do that, so get started by visiting. Then type in your Apple ID username and password.

Once you’re logged in, scroll down to the “Security” section, and then click on “Generate Password” under the “App-Specific Passwords” header. You’ll be asked to name your new password, so you can call it “Outlook” or “Calendly” (or whatever) to designate what service you’ll be using it for.
