Unable to generate an app password to use my iCloud email in new Outlook from Talk Talk

[john2367]

I’ve moved to new Outlook email app on my PC.

I’ve set my Talk Talk email as my primary account but when I try to set up my secondary account with my iCloud email address in new Outlook, it prompts me to obtain an app password from my email provider, Talk Talk. Without an app password, I can’t add my iCloud account to get my iCloud contacts into new Outlook and have syncing of them.

Ive just spent nearly two hours on the ,phone and chat line with various members of Talk Talk reading from a script telling me they don’t support 3rd part apps. And still no idea of how to obtain an app password!

I’m stuck. Short of ditching Talk Talk and finding another email host, can someone help?

Has anybody done this with the new Outlook? This must be a common request, surely.

TIA - John

Hi John, sorry I'm a little confused. Your post reads as though you are being asked for a password for Icloud account. Is that correct? As that's nothing to do with TalkTalk. If it's for TalkTalk then I can help you reset your TalkTalk password.
