App Passwords

My sister has her Fastmail account set up on her iphone and two ipads under the standard iphone mail app. I don't know if this is using mail.messagingengine.com or imap.fastmail.com as she is not here at the moment.

This is working perfectly but she has never set up an app password so why is this working?

My reason for asking is that she has just upgraded from a free account to a paid account an I was therefore going to change her SMTP server from Gmail to Fastmail so that she has no problems emailing from abroad (Gmail is awkward about this). I am therefore unsure if I need to set up an app password yet if the old settings still work. If I do need to set up an app password for her, will I just need one (as the 3 devices are all using the same app) or will I need three?
