as far as I know then iCloud accounts are still going to require
application specific passwords starting June 15th.
Although I've been reading about this, I haven't done anything because
I have yet to receive any communication from Apple about it. Is it
rolling out only to US iCloud accounts? I'm in Canada.
I don't think it's limited to US accounts. I received this on May 16th:
Beginning on 15 June, app-specific passwords will be required to
access your iCloud data using third-party apps such as Microsoft
Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or other mail, contacts and calendar
services not provided by Apple.
If you are already signed in to a third-party app using your primary
Apple ID password, you will be signed out automatically when this
change takes effect. You will need to generate an app-specific
password and sign in again.
To generate an app-specific password, [turn on two-factor
authentication](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204915) for your
Apple ID and then follow the instructions below:
* Sign in to your Apple ID account page (https://appleid.apple.com)
* Go to App-Specific Passwords under Security
* Click Generate Password
For more information, read [Using App-Specific
Passwords](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204397). If you need
additional help, visit Apple Support.
