You will likely have to log in again.

7. At the bottom of the window, click on Select App.
8. Choose "Others".



9. Enter "Visual Matrix" as the application.
10. Click "Generate".



11. Another window will open with the app password. This is the password that will have to be used in Visual Matrix, without spaces.
*The app password below is only an example.


Make sure you copy and paste the password into a notepad until you use it in Visual Matrix. Once you click "Done" at the bottom, you will not be able to see this password again.
The only action possible, once closed, will be to delete the password and create a new one.
