When you sync your iCloud calendar with Dubsado, you may run into a screen where it asks you to type in an “app-specific password”.
An app-specific password is a unique password generated by Apple. Companies like Apple use app-specific passwords to maintain their security measures when connecting with certain third-party applications (like Dubsado).
Follow Apple’s help article to generate an app-specific password or follow the steps below:
Sign in to appleid.apple.com.
In the Sign-In and Security section, select App-Specific Passwords.
Select Generate an app-specific password or select the Add button, then follow the steps on your screen.
Copy the app-specific password.
In Dubsado, you’ll need to:
Go to Calendar > Calendar settings.
Click Sync calendar.
Select iCloud.
Type in your Apple ID.
Paste in the app-specific password Apple generated.
Click Link Apple Account.
👋 Here’s a tip… If you want to reconnect your iCloud calendar or if you already have a calendar synced in Dubsado, you’ll need to click Revoke calendar to remove the current calendar from Dubsado first.
