[MlMt] app specific password??

[Henry Seiden]

Jo,

You create an app specific password in iCloud.com. However, you need to 
enable two-factor first. Then you can create the app-specific password 
there.  Maybe that’s why things are different with the changes you 
made?

Here’s an [Apple Support document on implementing app-specific 
passwords](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204397).

I label my own app-specific passwords with the apps they are used with 
for clarity in iCloud.com and in my local password manager(mSecure).

All version of MailMate have no problem using the third party passwords 
once updated in iCloud. If you changed your base password in iCloud that 
is the first place to look to confirm its settings are still in place. 
Usually they stay put, I have not seen them change for this reason, but 
recommend that you check your iCloud.


Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
