# NextCloud Calender & Token – EN

To set up the NextCloud calendar in different clients (e.g.: Outlook Calendar, Thunderbird Calendar) you need a token, which can be created in the cloud. In the following article you will find instructions on how to do this.

## **Create Token**

Log in [cloud.uni-ak.ac.at](https://cloud.uni-ak.ac.at)

ATTENTION: Please open NextCloud directly with the address [https://cloud.uni-ak.ac.at](https://cloud.uni-ak.ac.at) and not via link on Base, otherwise you may experience setup issues on macOS and iOS devices.

Click on your initials in the upper right corner and then on "**Einstellungen**" / **"Settings"**.

Now click on **"Security"** / "**Sicherheit**" on the left.

Under "**App-Passwörter/Token**" enter any name for the token in the "**App-Name**" field and then click "**Create new app password**"

Now your token will be displayed. It is best to copy the user name and password/token from the two fields and save them in a text document or editor. Now be sure to click on"**Done**".

ATTENTION: When you click on "**Done**" the token becomes invisible. Save the data before doing this.

Now navigate to your calendar by clicking on the **calendar icon** in the blue bar at the top.

You can select individual calendars by clicking the three dots next to the calendar you want to share. After that click on "**Edit and share calender**"
