To create an app-specific password, you’ll need to first enable two-factor authentication on your account. Once you’ve done that, you can follow these steps:
- Sign in to your account and go to your account settings.
- Look for the „Security” or „Two-Factor Authentication” section and find the option to manage app-specific passwords.
- Click on the „Generate” or „Create” button to create a new app-specific password.
- Give your app-specific password a name (e.g. „Publishing app”) and click „Create”.
- Your app-specific password will be displayed on the screen. Make sure to copy it and save it somewhere safe, as you won’t be able to see it again.
Once you have your app-specific password, you can use it in place of your regular account password when setting up a service connection to publish to the store.
To enable two-factor authentication on your account, follow these steps:
- Sign in to your account and go to your account settings.
- Look for the „Security” or „Two-Factor Authentication” section and find the option to enable two-factor authentication.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to set up two-factor authentication on your account. This may involve downloading and setting up an authentication app on your phone, or verifying your phone number to receive a verification code via text message.
- Once you’ve set up two-factor authentication, you’ll need to use it every time you sign in to your account. This typically involves entering your password as usual, and then entering a verification code that is sent to your phone via the authentication app or text message.
Note that the steps to enable two-factor authentication may vary depending on the service you’re using. If you’re having trouble setting it up, you may need to check the service’s support documentation or contact their support team for assistance.
