<p>Enter your email address as DAVx⁵ account name (mandatory if you want
to be able to send calendar invitation). If your email address is
registered in your Nextcloud preferences and you have set up your
account using the Nextcloud mobile app, this all should be already the case.</p>

<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>Using user name and password will not work if 2-Factor-Authentication
is enabled and will throw a generic “Unknown resource” error.
