App-specific password for BusyCal on multiple Apple devices


I use an app on three different Apple devices. Is the app-specific password used on all three or must I generate an app-specific password for each unique device? Specifically BusyCal.

You do not need to generate separate app-specific passwords for each device. You may choose to use the same app-specific password for BusyCal across all your devices.


However, it is optional to generate a unique app-specific password for each device. This can help with organization and security since you can label each password for future reference. If needed, you can revoke a specific password without affecting others.


An app-specific password for BusyCal (or any app requiring iCloud access) is typically tied to the app itself, not the specific device. This means that you can use the same app-specific password on all three of your Apple devices running BusyCal.

You do not need to create separate app-specific passwords for each app and device. The same app-specific password can be used for multiple apps (BusyCal) and multiple devices (Mac and iOS) as long as they are all connecting to the same iCloud account. However, you should generate new app-specific passwords if you change or reset your primary Apple Account password
