# Connect Bluesky

**You need:** your Bluesky handle or account email, and a Bluesky **App Password**. Your main Bluesky password
won't work.

## Create a Bluesky App Password

1. Open [bsky.app/settings/app-passwords](https://bsky.app/settings/app-passwords) and sign in.
2. Add a new App Password and give it a name you'll recognize, such as the name of this tool.
3. Copy the password Bluesky shows. You won't see it again.

The **Create an App password** link in Robopost's Bluesky window opens the same page.

## Connect your Bluesky account

1. Go to **Channels → [Connect channel](https://dash.robopost.app/channels-connect)** and click **Bluesky**.
2. In the **Bluesky channel connect** window, fill in:
   - **Handle or email**: your handle without the "@", such as `yourname.bsky.social`, your custom-domain handle,
     such as `example.com`, or the email address of your Bluesky account.
   - **App password**: the App Password you just created.
3. Click **Connect**.

"Successfully connected" appears, and the account is listed in **Channels → [Channels](https://dash.robopost.app/channels)**.

> **Tip:** Typed the "@" anyway? Robopost removes it for you.

## Reconnect your Bluesky account

If you revoke the App Password in Bluesky, or the channel shows **Reconnect Required**:

1. Create a new App Password in Bluesky.
2. In Robopost, open the channel's **Settings** and click **Refresh Channel Connection**.
3. Enter your handle or email and the new App Password, then click **Connect**.

Robopost updates the existing channel in place: its scheduled posts and settings stay as they are.

## Troubleshooting

### "Enter your Bluesky handle (yourname.bsky.social), your custom domain (e.g. yourdomain.com), or your account email."

What you typed in **Handle or email** isn't a handle or an email address. Enter the full handle including its
domain, such as `yourname.bsky.social`, not just `yourname`.

### "Bluesky rejected the login. Check your handle or email and make sure you are using a valid App password."

- Check the handle or email for typos.
- Make sure you pasted an **App Password**, not your main password, and that it hasn't been revoked.
- If your custom-domain handle isn't verified on Bluesky, sign in with your account email instead.

### "Your Bluesky account requires a sign-in code (two-factor authentication). Please use an App password instead."

You entered your main password, and your account has two-factor sign-in on. App Passwords skip the sign-in code:
[create one](#create-a-bluesky-app-password) and use it.

### "Bluesky is temporarily limiting login attempts. Please wait a few minutes and try again."

Too many attempts in a short time. Wait a few minutes, then try once with the correct App Password.

### "These credentials belong to a different Bluesky account than this channel."

You were refreshing a channel but signed in with another Bluesky account. Use the handle and an App Password of
the account the channel belongs to. To add a different account, use **Connect channel** instead.
