As I said, you do NOT use an application password with the Fastmail app! This is from the Fastmail help:

Why don't I need an app password for the FastMail app?
An app password cannot be used to log in on the web or the FastMail app.

Unlike 3rd party apps, our own app does not need to save your password. After you successfully log in, the server sends our app a long random token (much like an app password!) which it then uses to authenticate you from then on. This gives you all the same benefits of an app password, without the inconvenience of having to generate it in advance.

Our app supports two-step verification, which is the best way of keeping your account secure. If you enable this, then even a key logger would not be sufficient to gain access to your account, since the second factor is different each time.

If you lose your phone, you can remotely log out the app in the Logged In Sessions section of the Settings → Password & Security screen.
