  Hi there!

  Thanks for getting in touch! To generate application-specific passwords, take the following steps

  1. Click on your profile at https://wordpress.com/me.
  2. On the side, select the Security menu option.
  3. Select “Two-Step Authentication,” which must be enabled.
  4. Scroll down to the “Application passwords” section.
  5. Click the “Add new application password” button.
  6. Give the application a name—you’re the only one who will see this name, so call it whatever you’d like—and click the “Generate Password” button.

  

  WordPress.com will create a unique 16-character password that you can copy and paste the next time you log in to your account on that device. The application will remember this password so you don’t need to.
