Frequently asked questions
Why an app-specific password?
Why an app-specific password?
Apple requires it for any third-party mail client when Two-Factor Authentication is enabled — which is required on all current Apple IDs. It’s a 16-character one-time password scoped to a single client.
Can I revoke access later?
Can I revoke access later?
Yes. Go to appleid.apple.com → Sign-In and Security → App-Specific Passwords → delete the entry. The client loses access immediately.
Does this work with @me.com and @mac.com addresses?
Does this work with @me.com and @mac.com addresses?
Yes — those are legacy iCloud Mail addresses on the same backend. Use the same IMAP/SMTP hosts and an app-specific password generated against your Apple ID.
