## Walkthrough

Apple’s ‘App-Specific Passwords’ are used so that third-party companies like Adalo can securely sign into Apple accounts. For example, you might have created one if you needed to sign into iCloud on a Windows device.

Creating an ‘App-Specific Password’ for Adalo allows us to securely upload your app to TestFlight. To create one:

**1.)** Copy and paste this web address into your browser: **<https://appleid.apple.com>** and click the blue **Sign In** button to sign into your Apple Developer account if you have not already done so.

**5.)** Apple may ask you to confirm your Apple ID password again. After you have confirmed your password, you will be able to see your new App-Specific Password. Be sure to copy this password and save it somewhere safe - **you will not be able to see it again!**
