I was trying to make an app-specific password for gmail and this came up. There aren’t any new options in the apple id settings, so idk what to do

      Worthless comment is worthless.

        I mean, you should drop any company that forces you to use only their devices to access services that aren’t exclusive to those devices.

        This stinks of antitrust behavior to me.

          I’m not sure what accidental journey through Gmail’s options OP took but it looks to me that they inadvertently started setting up a passkey, which is tied to the hardware but can sync between Apple devices using iCloud Keychain. Apple certainly isn’t blocking you from changing Gmail-specific settings.

          In this situation, I suspect it’s being forced because 2-factor authentication is on, so the user has to continue on a device that has been previously been trusted.

      So rather than disregard the entire thread and move on, everyone just opts to complain about Apple, on an Apple community, rather than offer any advice.

      I’m on Reddit again.

            @LizardKing @HellAwaits and yet, here I am. I modified Android devices for the better part of a decade. ROM’s, kernels, superSU(before magisk), modules, theme engines. I tested for GZR.

            That being said, the fact that the custom community was so huge, actually highlighted how bad Android was. Now, ten years later, you wanna act like it’s the best thing since PB&J…

            Priorities change, that doesn’t make me an idiot because mine align more with Apple now.

        What solutions are there to a monopolization of your life?

          No one is forcing you to use apple products. Take your trolling somewhere else please and thank you.

            Did you forget about why this conversation is being had?

            OP is basically needing to break out of jail.
