Why ONYX asks for this

ONYX uses a BlueSky app password for approved post publishing. That keeps your main BlueSky login separate and gives you a credential you can revoke from BlueSky settings.

For deeper auth troubleshooting, use the free ONYX guide for decoding internal JSON Web Tokens and managing token authentication lifecycles safely.

Safety checks

Use a unique app password for each third-party tool.
Do not store the generated password in public notes, screenshots, chats, or shared docs.
Avoid enabling DM/chat access unless the app truly needs it.
Keep the main BlueSky password for signing in to BlueSky itself.
Rotate app passwords when an agency, contractor, or teammate no longer needs access.
