How to Remove or Deactivate “Application Passwords” in WordPress

With version 5.6, I got this new weird “Application Passwords” under all user profiles. No idea what it is and what it does except for what it says — and I want it gone.

If anyone knows how to remove this using __return_false with a filter or something, please tell me. I’ve googled and looked at the developers handbook and so far; nothing.

Method 1

Yes, it’s wp_is_application_passwords_available to globally disable them:

add_filter( 'wp_is_application_passwords_available', '__return_false' );

or wp_is_application_passwords_available_for_user to turn them on and off by role or individually.
