I just got the following today:
This is a reminder that beginning on June 15, app-specific passwords
will be required to access your iCloud data using third‑party apps
such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or other mail, contacts,
and calendar services not provided by Apple.
If you are already signed in to a third‑party app using your primary
Apple ID password, you will be signed out automatically when this change
takes effect. You will need to generate an app-specific password and
sign in again.
To generate an app-specific password, turn on two-factor authentication
for your Apple ID and then follow the instructions below:
• Sign in to your Apple ID account page
(https://appleid.apple.com)
• Go to App-Specific Passwords under Security
• Click Generate Password

Sorry,
I wasn’t quite remembering correctly. Following is the email I
received…
======================
Thank you for using two-step verification to protect the security of
your Apple ID.
If you install the iOS 11 or macOS High Sierra public betas this
summer and meet the basic requirements, your Apple ID (xxxxxx) will be
automatically updated to use two-factor authentication. This is our
most advanced, easy-to-use account security, and it’s required to
use some of the latest features of iOS, macOS, and iCloud.
Once updated, you’ll get the same extra layer of security you enjoy
with two-step verification today, but with an even better user
experience. Verification codes will be displayed on your trusted
devices automatically whenever you sign in, and you will no longer
need to keep a printed recovery key to make sure you can reset a
forgotten password.
For more information, read Two-Factor Authentication for Apple ID. If
you have additional questions, visit Apple Support.

My understanding is that it will be with the next release of MacOS
(High Sierra?), sometime this fall… unless you are using one of
the beta builds.
If you find a link to this information then please share.
