iOS Question Failed to upload Archive file

As an an App Developer I have to rely on the kindness of strangers.
A bit of context first:

I am obviously missing something but I do not know what.
I have a paid up Apple Developer Acct.
I have successfully compiled an archive file using the proper certificates, identifiers and provision file for my app.
The archive zip file was downloaded to the OBJECT folder.
Upon trying to upload it to the App Store for review, the uploader finds the Archive file and tries to
open the App Store door to deliver it but is denied with several lines of explanation but it seems the salient
part comes down to this line:
Error: Unable to upload archive. Failed to get authorization for username 'myAppleID' and password.
Where myAppleID is my correct email addy.
The password that I used was the same one that gains me access to the Apple Developer portal.

I will be happy to supply any other info that is needed by anyone willing to reply to this.

Thanking you in advance for pondering my issue.

The password must be App-specifc-Password

Edit: Steps: Make sure your account also have 2FA enabled.

To create App specific password:
1) login onto apple account
2) Security-->App-Specific Passwords
3) Click: Generate Password
4) Add a name: example B4i then "click" create
5) Use the password to update your ipa using B4i tool

Thank You very, very much. Reply was 100% on point
It has been about 5 years since I uploaded an app to the App store and I don't think the App Specific password existed then.
Thank You again.
