Gmail/Lightning calendar not sync

Post by SullyC »

I'm new to TB. I have loaded all the latest add-ons including the Provider for Google Calendar. I've downloaded all my events but can't add them. I've tried the Create new calendar and followed the suggested steps but after I select the Gmail address and click next, I cannot change or select the calendars/tasks and the Next button is greyed out. Any suggestions?

Are you by any chance using 2-factor identification? If so, I think you need to either de-select 2-factor identification or create an application-specific password.

I don't use 2-factor identification because I find it one of the most insecure ways to work. Ask me my street address or the number of tattoos I have, but don't ask me to use one of the phones shared by 4 people as a way to "protect" my account!
