How to generate a specific password for iCloud

Verification-two-steps-18

You have probably heard of the two-step verification, that many companies are implementing in recent months to further protect the security of your services such as Twitter, Gmail ... Thanks to this security plus we can protect our backs from outside interference since without a device with a specific app we cannot enter the service, I give you an example with iCloud, When we try to access iCloud but we have two-step verification activated, a code arrives on the iPad that we have to enter as a security method, and then we can continue with the standard login. If you don't want to put your password in any app, you can generate a specific one from the Apple ID Settings.

Specific passwords for iCloud XNUMX-Step Verification

Ok, the two-step setup is on in iCloud, but many apps haven't optimized their code for iCloud XNUMX-step verification, then we have no choice but to generate a specific password for the application, which will serve as a «master key», it decir, We will not have to enter the code that iCloud sends us as security (since it is not compatible with the app) but we will have to enter a password that we will now learn to create in order access the standard iCloud login. Let's see how we can create a password of this type:

  • We go to appleid.apple.com and log in with our iCloud / App Store data
  • We identify ourselves with the two-step verification code, which will arrive at a device
  • Once logged in, click on «Password and security»
  • Click on «Generate specific password for app»
  • We insert the name of the application with which we will use these passwords and click on "Generate", Why do we want to name the app? Because if we don't want to connect to that app anymore, we delete the password so that no one can enter if our iCloud password is known, because we have two-step verification
  • We copied the password to the clipboard and entered it in the application that asked us to enter iCloud but we could not because we had two-step verification activated and the app was not compatible with this function of the iCloud cloud and ready! We can now function correctly in the app.

    I like everything apple has done but it is not fair that due to an error such as losing my ID, my device will not serve me again
