I had this setup working months ago. Back to Linux and a new distro, entering WebDav URL and Nextcloud credentials with new Joplin setup, this error persists. Any suggestions?

Using WebDav URL: [https://us.cloudamo.com/remote.php/dav/files/username@email.com/Joplin](https://us.cloudamo.com/remote.php/dav/files/username@email.com/Joplin)

> password login forbidden

According to the error message from cloudamo, logging in with username and password is not allowed.  
Have you switched to 2FA or app passwords?

Thanks for the brain jostle. I had to toggle 2FA off, reset, update app, 2FA back on. Works and syncs!
