 If two-step authentication is enabled for your iCloud account, some time after Home Assistant startup the integration will ask to enter the verification code you receive on your device via a notification in the Home Assistant UI. The duration of this authentication is determined by Apple, so you will need to verify your account every now and then.
 
-### App Specific Passwords
-Apple allows you to provide an [App Specific Password](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204397), which **don't require two factor authentication**, and one could argue more secure than storing your iCloud password within Home Assistant.
-#### How to generate an app-specific password
-
-1. Sign in to your [Apple ID account page](https://appleid.apple.com/account/home).
-2. In the Security section, click Generate Password below App-Specific Passwords.
-3. Follow the steps on your screen.
-
-After you generate your app-specific password, enter or paste it into the password field of the integration.
-
-Any time you change or reset your primary Apple ID password, all your app-specific passwords are revoked automatically to protect the security of your account. You'll need to generate new app-specific passwords for any apps that you want to continue using.

 ## In case of troubleshooting
 
 Go into your Home Assistant configuration `.storage` folder and delete the "icloud" folder, then retry.
