Bluesky
Connect Bluesky with an app password, what a Bluesky post can include, and its options.
Social9 posts to your Bluesky account. You connect it with an app password, not your normal password.
Where to find it#
Dashboard → Channels → Bluesky → Connect.
Bluesky is on every plan, including Free.
Make an app password#
- In Bluesky, open Settings → Privacy and security → App passwords.
- Add a new app password. Name it "Social9" so you know what it is for.
- Copy it. It looks like
xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx.
An app password can only be used by apps. You can delete it in Bluesky any time, and Social9's access ends.
Connecting#
- Press Connect on the Bluesky card.
- Type Your handle, for example
yourname.bsky.social. - Paste the App password.
- Press Connect.
Social9 stores the app password encrypted.
If you get "Bluesky did not accept that handle and app password", check both and try again. Do not use your normal password.
