Email Notification with icloud and two factor authentication

[SoftRAID Support]

If you have Two Factor Authentication enabled (for signing into iCloud anything, including Apple ID) — and have problems using icloud email accounts with SoftRAID, here is some advice.

Sign into appleid.apple.com , and after using Two Factor Authentication, find the panel on the page for “App-Specific Passwords,” and click “Generate Password” It will ask you to name the App you are referencing - for your own reference, then it generates a secure password. Copy and paste that into the password box in the SoftRAID email notification panel (instead of your standard email password).
