A popup will show and then type in any name for this password just to distinguish it (eg a word, initials, a name, etc). Click "Next".

An app password will then show on the screen. It is ONLY SHOWN ONCE so you need to write it down or copy it or save it somewhere or take a screenshot.
Use this as your password in the email settings on your phone app, tablet app or on a computer in Outlook, Thunderbird, etc. If you lose this password in future, you can come back and create a new one.
