Beginning on June 15, 2017, app-specific passwords are required to access your iCloud data using third‑party apps such as SaneBox. To generate an app-specific password, turn on two-factor authentication for your Apple ID and then follow the instructions below.

How do I create a password to be used just for SaneBox?

When you login to manage your Apple ID, it will be listed in the Security section:https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage

Make sure that the email address is the same one that you have signed up with SaneBox.
