how to name an "app password" AOL for a email client

How exactly should a user name an app password to use AOL in a third-party app? What rules to use? What format to use? Is this simply variable and we give the "app name" anything we want?

edit: What I mean is, when we tell AOL the name of the app to which we could put in the "app password".

FOUND! Naming is flexible but the program might not accept certain types of combinations of letter/characters. I gave an abbreviated and coded "app" name just to help later to know how I picked THAT email client on THAT machine. I had to try giving a name twice; one slightly different than the other. I do not know exactly the needed rules.

Personally I would use the device name rather than the app name.
