For some reason application passwords don't seem to work according to everyone who tried. I don't really know what TOTP is or how all of this is configured, that's the domain of our security team. I don't really know what you mean about Google apps, I just want to use the calendar app on my Mac and iPhone to see my meetings but I can't. I asked them about it and they confirmed to me that I should use the Google Calendar web app in Chrome.
Using a web app on my Mac isn't the end of the world, but I can't see my meetings on my phone in any type of way, and I'm already missing them sometimes because the little notification on the phone is what reminds me that I have a meeting to go to.
- nickik 10y agoIn the Google security setting you can create new App-Passwords, use those in your Apple Mail or whatever. It should work fine.

- nickik 10y agoWell you said yourself that you are not an expert. I encourage you to actually play around with the settings a litte. I have used it multible times in different context and it has worked like a charm every time. So maybe if you spend some time on it, you can make it work.

They don't give access to a specific scope (e.g. calendar) even through that might be all the application you're syncing needs.
