Using app-specific passwords

App-specific passwords allow you to sign in to your account securely when you use third-party apps with your Apple ID.

App-specific passwords are passwords for your Apple ID that let you sign in to your account and securely access the information you store in iCloud from a third-party app. For example, use app-specific passwords with mail, contacts, and calendar services not provided by Apple. App-specific passwords maintain a high level of security and help ensure your Apple ID password won’t be collected or stored by any third-party apps you use.

If you are signed in to iCloud for Windows, you don’t need an app-specific password when using your Apple ID with third-party Microsoft apps.

To generate and use app-specific passwords, your Apple ID must be protected with two-factor authentication.

You also need an app-specific password for your devices that use Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 and earlier or iOS 5 and earlier. If you don’t have devices that can be updated to iOS 9 or later or OS X El Capitan or later, you can set up two-step verification and generate app-specific passwords.

How to generate an app-specific password

1. Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
2. In the Security section, click Generate Password below App-Specific Passwords.
3. Follow the steps on your screen.

After you generate your app-specific password, enter or paste it into the password field of the app as you would normally.

How to manage app-specific passwords

At any given time, you can have up to 25 active app-specific passwords. If you need to, you can revoke passwords individually or all at once.

1. Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
2. In the Security section, click Edit.
3. In the App Specific Passwords section, click View History.
4. Click next to a password you want to delete, or Revoke All.

After you revoke a password, the app using that password will be signed out of your account until you generate a new password and sign in again.

Any time you change or reset your primary Apple ID password, all of your app-specific passwords are revoked automatically to protect the security of your account. You’ll need to generate new app-specific passwords for any apps that you want to continue using.

Two-factor authentication for Apple ID

Two-factor authentication is an extra layer of security for your Apple ID designed to ensure that you’re the only person who can access your account, even if someone knows your password.

How it works

With two-factor authentication, only you can access your account on a trusted device or the web. When you want to sign in to a new device for the first time, you’ll need to provide two pieces of information—your password and the six-digit verification code that’s automatically displayed on your trusted devices or sent to your phone number. By entering the code, you’re verifying that you trust the new device. For example, if you have an iPhone and are signing into your account for the first time on a newly purchased Mac, you’ll be prompted to enter your password and the verification code that’s automatically displayed on your iPhone.

Because your password alone is no longer enough to access your account, two-factor authentication dramatically improves the security of your Apple ID and all the personal information you store with Apple.

Once signed in, you won’t be asked for a verification code on that device again unless you sign out completely, erase the device, or need to change your password for security reasons. When you sign in on the web, you can choose to trust your browser, so you won’t be asked for a verification code the next time you sign in from that computer.

Trusted devices

A trusted device is an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 9 or later, or Mac with OS X El Capitan or later that you’ve already signed in to using two-factor authentication. It’s a device we know is yours and that can be used to verify your identity by displaying a verification code from Apple when you sign in on a different device or browser. An Apple Watch with watchOS 6 or later can receive verification codes when you sign in with your Apple ID, but cannot act as a trusted device for password resets.

Trusted phone numbers

A trusted phone number is a number that can be used to receive verification codes by text message or automated phone call. You must verify at least one trusted phone number to enroll in two-factor authentication.

You should also consider verifying an additional phone number you can access, such as a home phone, or a number used by a family member or close friend. You can use this number if you temporarily can’t access your primary number or your own devices.

Verification codes

A verification code is a temporary code sent to your trusted device or phone number when you sign in to a new device or browser with your Apple ID. You can also get a verification code from Settings on your trusted device.

A verification code is different from the device passcode you enter to unlock your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Set up two-factor authentication for your Apple ID

You can follow these steps to turn on two-factor authentication on your device. Learn more about the availability of two-factor authentication.

Turn on two-factor authentication on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. Go to Settings > [your name] > Password & Security.
2. Tap Turn On Two-Factor Authentication.
   
3. Tap Continue.
4. Enter the phone number where you want to receive verification codes when you sign in. You can choose to receive the codes by text message or automated phone call.
5. Tap Next.
6. Enter the verification code to verify your phone number and turn on two-factor authentication.

You might be asked to answer your Apple ID security questions.

Turn on two-factor authentication on your Mac

1. Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Apple ID.
2. Click Password & Security under your name.
3. Next to Two-Factor Authentication, click Turn On.
   

If you’re using macOS Mojave or earlier:

1. Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click iCloud, and select Account Details.
2. Click Security.
3. Click Turn On Two-Factor Authentication.

Some Apple IDs created in iOS 10.3 or macOS 10.12.4 and later are protected with two-factor authentication by default. In this case, you see that two-factor authentication is already turned on.

Upgrade to two-factor authentication on the web

1. Go to appleid.apple.com, then sign in with your Apple ID.
2. Answer your security questions, then tap Continue.
3. You’ll see a prompt to upgrade your account security. Tap Continue.
4. Click Upgrade Account Security.
5. Enter the phone number where you want to receive verification codes when you sign in. You can choose to receive the codes by text message or automated phone call.
6. Click Continue.
7. Enter the verification code to verify your phone number and turn on two-factor authentication.

If you have an Apple ID that’s not protected by two-factor authentication, some Apple web sites might ask you to update your account.

What to remember when you use two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication significantly improves the security of your Apple ID. After you turn it on, signing into your account will require both your password and access to your trusted devices or trusted phone number. To keep your account as secure as possible and help ensure you never lose access, there are a few simple guidelines you should follow:

• Remember your Apple ID password.
• Use a device passcode on all your devices.
• Keep your trusted phone number(s) up to date.
• Keep your trusted devices physically secure.

Manage your account

You can manage your trusted phone numbers, trusted devices, and other account information from your Apple ID account page.

Manage your trusted phone numbers

To use two-factor authentication, you need at least one trusted phone number on file where you can receive verification codes. Consider verifying an additional trusted phone number other than your own phone number. If your iPhone is your only trusted device and it is missing or damaged, you will be unable to receive verification codes required to access your account.

Update your trusted phone number on your Apple ID account page

1. Go to appleid.apple.com.
2. Sign in with your Apple ID.
3. Go to the Security section and click Edit.

If you want to add a phone number, click Add a Trusted Phone Number and enter the phone number. Choose to verify the number with a text message or automated phone call, and click Continue. To remove a trusted phone number, click next to the phone number you want to remove.

Update your trusted phone number through account recovery

1. Go to appleid.apple.com.
2. Sign in with your Apple ID.
3. Select “Didn’t get a verification code?”, then select More Options.
4. You’ll be redirected to iforgot.apple.com.
5. Complete your account recovery request. Learn more about account recovery.

View and manage your trusted devices

You can view and manage a list of your trusted devices on iOS, macOS, and in the Devices section of your Apple ID account page.

1. Go to Settings > [your name].
2. Select a device from the list.

On macOS Catalina or later:

1. Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences.
2. Select Apple ID.
3. Select a device from the sidebar.

On macOS Mojave or earlier:

1. Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences.
2. Select iCloud, then click Account Details.
3. Click the Devices tab.
4. Select a device from the list.

1. Go to your Apple ID account page.
2. Sign in with your Apple ID.
3. Go to the Devices section.

The device list shows the devices that you’re currently signed in to with your Apple ID. Select a device to view device info like the model and serial number. Below that you can see other useful information, including whether or not the device is trusted and can be used to receive Apple ID verification codes.

You can also remove a trusted device by selecting Remove from Account from the device list. Removing a trusted device will ensure that it can no longer display verification codes and that access to iCloud, and other Apple services on the device, is blocked until you sign in again with two-factor authentication. If you need to find or erase your device before you remove it from your trusted device list, you can use Find My iPhone.

Generate app-specific passwords

With two-factor authentication, you need an app-specific password to sign in to your account using third-party apps or services such as email, contacts, or calendar apps not provided by Apple. Follow these steps to generate an app-specific password:

1. Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
2. Click Generate Password below App-Specific Passwords.
3. Follow the steps on your screen.

After you generate your app-specific password, enter or paste it into the password field of the app as you would normally.
