How do I generate app password for multiple virginmedia.com addresses?

I have managed to do this with one email address, but it won't work for second email and I end up in a deadly circle

• Step 1

• Step 2

• Step 3

• Step 4

There is no new email, but when I try the link from the first change I get

How can I get app passwords for the other accounts apart from creating new gmail accounts for every virginmedia email?

A unique third-party email address must be used with each of Virgin Media account. A quirk of Gmail email addresses is that Dots don't matter in Gmail addresses - Gmail Help. This saves having to create additional accounts because johnsmith@ gmail.com  can also be addressed as: john.smith@ gmail.com, j.ohnsmith@ gmail.com, jo.hnsmith@ gmail.com, …, j.o.h.n.s.m.i.t.h@ gmail.com and all arrive in same mailbox.

NB make sure to note which third-party email address is used with which Virgin Media account as it is needed when signing into My Virgin Media and Virgin Media Mail (webmail)
