Connect Bluesky to DadyPost

Create an app password in your Bluesky settings, then paste your handle and that app password into DadyPost. It takes about 2 minutes and never shares your real Bluesky password.

Before you start

  • You can sign in to the Bluesky account you want to post from (bsky.app or the Bluesky app).
  • Use an app password, not your normal Bluesky password. An app password can be revoked at any time without changing your login.

Step by step

  1. Step 1: Open Settings → Privacy and security

    Sign in at bsky.app. In the left menu, click Settings (1), then Privacy and security (2). In the mobile app, tap your avatar, then Settings.

    Settings → Privacy and security

  2. Step 2: Open App passwords and add one

    Click App passwords (1), then Add App Password (2).

    App passwords → Add App Password

    Bluesky Privacy and security list with App passwords highlighted, and the Add App Password button

  3. Step 3: Name it DadyPost and allow direct messages

    Type DadyPost as the name (1). Turn on Allow access to your direct messages (2) — DadyPost's Inbox needs it to read and answer your Bluesky DMs; posting works either way. Click Next (3).

    Add app password dialog with the name DadyPost, the direct-messages toggle turned on and the Next button highlighted

  4. Step 4: Copy the app password

    Bluesky shows the new password once, as four groups of letters and numbers (1). Copy it now — you can't view it again. Then click Done (2). If you lose it, delete it and create a new one.

  5. Step 5: Find your handle

    Your handle is under your name on your profile (1), for example yourname.bsky.social — or your own domain if you set one up. You'll type it without the @.

    @yourname.bsky.social → yourname.bsky.social

  6. Step 6: Connect in DadyPost

    In DadyPost, open Connect Profiles, find Bluesky and click Connect. Type your handle into Identifier and paste the app password into Password, then click Connect Bluesky. Your Bluesky account appears in your channels right away.

What goes where in DadyPost

DadyPost fieldWhat to paste
IdentifierYour handle without the @, e.g. yourname.bsky.social (your account email works too)
PasswordThe app password from step 4, e.g. abcd-efgh-ijkl-mnop — never your normal Bluesky password

Troubleshooting

"Invalid credentials"
Check the handle has no @ and no spaces, and that you pasted the app password exactly (with its dashes). If you deleted that app password in Bluesky, create a new one.
Posting works but the Inbox shows no Bluesky messages
The app password was created without direct-message access. Delete it in Bluesky, create a new one with Allow access to your direct messages turned on, and reconnect Bluesky in DadyPost.
I use two-factor authentication
That's fine — app passwords work with 2FA turned on, and you won't be asked for a code.
I want to disconnect DadyPost from Bluesky
Delete the DadyPost app password under Settings → Privacy and security → App passwords. DadyPost loses access immediately.
