What do I do now?

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

I can only ever get this to work by signing into appleid.apple.com on the web browser. Should be a spot right on the first menu for App Specific Password
- This seems to be the solution. I found a thread where someone had the same problem and what you suggested fixed it for them.
  
  thanks, i'll be sure to check that out
Are you trying this in Safari?
- no, edge
- it just tells me to go to icloud settings nothing from there
Pretty sure it is a bug. Use a different browser and it should work fine, I used edge. I got apple support on the phone and this was this solution. Was not interested is making a bug report, just suggested I leave feedback which is just like pissing into the wind.
- Wry constructive opinion. Thanks.
- 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.
  
  Ditto
- 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.
  
  Persistent Anti-Apple losers are almost as bad as the Apple fanboys. There doesn't need to be a competition between the two groups of who are the bigger idiots.
  
  What solutions are there to a monopolization of your life?
