Hi!  
I am using Joplin a while, and i always sync my notes with Nexcloud (really Filerun, but use the same WebDav)  
Now I add two steps verification to my Filerun and I cant find a option to put my verification code and i have the following sync error when i test the sync

> Error. Please check that URL, username, password, etc. are correct and that the sync target is accessible. The reported error was:  
> PROPFIND : Unknown error 2 (401): This application requires authentication.  
> Your account is configured for 2-step verification. You need to type in a verification code! (Code 401)

It is posible use two steps verification with Joplin?

Thaks

Normally you would go to your storage provider account and create an application password that allows access without a 2FA code. However the [Filerun support page for 2FA](https://docs.filerun.com/2-step_verification) states,

> **Using WebDAV with 2-step verification**  
> Use the “Connect app” option to generate a new set of credentials, which do not require 2-step verification, and which are limited to the use of WebDAV and the API. Do note that this option requires the FileRun API to be enabled.

Thanks for the solution.

In the Filerun app, the option "Connect app" is in the same submenu that the "Sing out"
