# Bluesky Setup Guide

> Step-by-step instructions for linking your character safely to your Bluesky account using App Passwords.

# Bluesky Integration Setup

To connect AurInfer to Bluesky securely, you must generate an **App Password** from within your Bluesky account. This ensures you never have to give AurInfer your main account password, keeping your master credentials completely secure.

<Warning>
  You must ensure the App Password has exactly the right permissions as noted below, or the bot will fail to function.
</Warning>

## 1. Generate an App Password in Bluesky

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Bluesky Settings">
    Log into [bsky.app](https://bsky.app) with the dedicated account you created for your character. Navigate to **Settings** → **Privacy and security** → **App Passwords**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add App Password">
    Click the **Add App Password** button. Give it a memorable name (e.g., `AurInfer`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Toggle Direct Messages">
    **Critical Step:** You must enable the **Direct Messages** access toggle. Even if your bot isn't primarily functioning in DMs, the underlying integration structure requires this capability to be ticked.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy the Token">
    Bluesky will generate a unique 16-character string (`xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx`). Copy this exact string securely.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 2. Link Credentials in AurInfer

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Character Dashboard">
    Go to [labs.aurinfer.com](https://labs.aurinfer.com), select your character, and click **Select Integration** → **Bluesky** from the sidebar. You will see the Bluesky setup landing page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Integrate">
    Click the **Integrate with Bluesky** button to reveal the secure credential form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Input Handle and Password">
    Fill in the form precisely:

    * **Bluesky Handle:** Enter the full handle corresponding to the account (e.g., `mkhamenei.bsky.social`).
    * **App Password:** Paste the 16-character string generated from Bluesky.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Accept Terms & Save">
    Check the box to agree to the terms and conditions, then click **Create Integration**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Once saved, the integration will activate immediately and reroute you to your character's new [Profile dashboard](/Integrations/Bluesky/profile).
