Safari bug: You now need a different browser for app passwords
Passwords for individual apps can be set in the security settings of the Apple ID. This prevents your Apple ID password from being saved by third-party providers. However, there is currently a problem with Safari.
If you log in to your Apple ID via the web, you will find a practical function there: "application-specific passwords". This allows you to set a special password for individual apps that you can use to log in. You can use an app-specific password wherever you would otherwise have to log in with your Apple ID. This prevents the app from saving your "real" Apple ID password.
As yet, Apple has not fixed the problem - this may happen when the final version of Safari 17 is rolled out.
