Hi all
If you do not have two step verification enabled on your Apple ID, you
can safely ignore this message. If you do, I have a note for you. The
below took effect as of today.
If you use third party clients such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla
Thunderbird to manage your iCloud Mail account, you must now generate an
app specific password before you can use it again. Previously it was
possible to use your Apple ID password to log into iCloud Mail even if
you have two step verification enabled. For good reasons of course this
now no longer works and instead you must do the above. To do so, go to
http://appleid.apple.com
sign in with your Apple ID, verify your identity, click the passwords
and security tab then click generate app specific password link.
Thank you for reading.
