 **Steps to Fix:**
 Method . 1
 step.1 Temporarily Assign a Role on the Main Site:

 Go to Network Admin > Sites.

 Select the main site.

 Navigate to the Users tab.

 Add the user to the main site (e.g., assign them the "Subscriber" role).

 **step.2 Generate the Application Password:
 **
 Go to Network Admin > Users.

 Edit the user and generate an Application Password.

 Copy the generated password.

 **Step.3 Remove the Role (Optional):
 **
 If the user does not need access to the main site, remove them from it
 after generating the password.

 **Method . 2 Alternative Solution via Code**

 If you want to avoid assigning roles manually, you can use a filter to
 allow users without a role to generate Application Passwords.

 Add this to your mu-plugins or theme’s functions.php:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 add_filter( 'wp_is_application_passwords_available_for_user', function(
 $available, $user ) {
     return true; // Force enable application passwords for all users.
 }, 10, 2 );
 }}}
