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.
Ditto
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.

Someone better tell Linus Torvalds
@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.

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
thanks, i’ll be sure to check that out
@TheCheddarCheese It tells you what you have to do.
As someone who has suffered a very similar situation, I can say that I appreciate Apple’s approach to protecting my account.it just tells me to go to icloud settings nothing from there

Wry constructive opinion. Thanks.
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.
