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.

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.
