Windows 10: iCloud not approving password

Hello, I recently got a new MacBook and migrated the passwords and bookmarks to the mac ecosystem. However, the iCloud app for windows 11 refuses to sync my passwords with chrome. It keeps saying "Requires approval from your device." Every time, I get the 2FA code from my mac and type it in, it never syncs. Is there anything I can do, or is this a matter I bring to apple?

Problems syncing iCloud Calendar with Windows 10 Calendar

Hey,

I don't know if this is helpful, but I tried the new app password generator as suggested earlier in the thread and it totally worked! and it was easy, too. Here are the steps I followed:

• First I went to Apple ID and logged in under your normal account
• Check to see if one of your apple accounts is listed (me.com, icloud.com, etc.)
• Then I went to app specific passwords.
• Created a name (mine was Outlook1)
• the system will generate a new password.
• Then I highlighted and copied
• Then I went in to Calendar, added an iCloud account
• I signed in using my icloud address just to be safe.
• Pasted the newly generated password
• Pressed add. And it worked.

All my stuff started populating immediately. Plus, I am able to create an event on my home PC and it automatically popuated on my iPhone.

 

Your icloud settings are out of date

Hi Sol,

You might need to login to your iCloud account in order for this to be resolved. May we know if you've enabled two-factor authentication on your iCloud account? If so, you'll need to generate an app-specific password to add your iCloud account to the Mail
app. Kindly follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
2. Select Generate Password below App-Specific Passwords.
3. Follow the instructions on your screen.
