App Specific password

Running Windows 11 desktop 22H2

Instructions state:

"To create a new app password for an app or device, take the following steps. You can repeat these steps to create an app password for as many apps or devices as you need.

1. Go to the Security Basics page and sign in to your Microsoft account.
   
2. Select More security options.
   
3. Under App passwords, select Create a new app password. A new app password is generated and appears on your screen.
   
4. Enter this app password where you would enter your normal Microsoft account password in the application."
   

I can log in. I click "Security" then "Advanced Security Options" (No "More Security Options"). NO "App passwords" to be found !!!! What's happened ??

Appreciate help.

 

Lost My Administrator Password

To which "this" are you referring?
- If you are following the tutorial Bree suggested in the very first reply to your question then what you need to do at each step is explained in detail. So which step are you at?
- If you are following a different procedure then state what it is and which step you are at. If, for example, you are trying to manually enable the Built-In Admin as suggested in post #11 then that account has no password.
