# Connecting Apple Calendar

Sync your Apple Calendar with our scheduling platform to prevent double-bookings and keep your schedule in sync.

**IMPORTANT:** This integration requires an **app-specific password - not your regular Apple ID password**. We'll guide you through creating this secure password below.

Additionally you need to enable [**two-factor authentication**](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102660) to generate an app specifc password (if you haven’t done so already)

### Step 1: Generate an App-Specific Password

1. Login to your Apple account <https://account.apple.com/sign-in>
2. Click on "App-Specific Passwords". This will allow you to generate a password to use specifically for zcal.\
