3. Enter your user name and password, or, if you have two-factor authentication enabled, use an App Password. Then click next.
3. Enter your username. As password, you need to generate an app-password/token (`Learn more <https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/user_manual/session_management.html#managing-devices>`_).

To create an App Password if you have two-factor authentication:
* in Nextcloud, go to your user settings and look under security.
* Look for the button ``create new App password`` and before it, enter a unique name, like ``KOrganizer on my laptop``

**Note:** the test can take a while!
7. Pick a name for this resource, for example ``Work`` or ``Home`` By default, both CalDAV (Calendar) and CardDAV (Contacts) are synced.
7. Pick a name for this resource, for example ``work`` or ``private`` By default, both CalDav and CardDav are synced, that is, both calendar and contacts. Choose a refresh time, 5 minutes is default but quite often for use on a laptop. Perhaps you want to save power and be a bit slower, like once every 30 minutes. Note that you can update with a right-click on the item in the calendar list and when you create a new appointment it is synced to Nextcloud right away.
.. note:: You can set a manual refresh rate four your calendar and contacts resources. By default this setting is set to 5 minutes and should be fine for the most use cases. You may want to change this for saving your power or cellular data plan. that you can update with a right-click on the item in the calendar list and when you create a new appointment it is synced to Nextcloud right away.
