How to Use App Password Bitbucket

Introduction to App Passwords in Bitbucket

App passwords in Bitbucket are a secure way to allow third-party applications or services to access your Bitbucket account without needing to enter your main account password. This adds an extra layer of security by keeping your main password private while still granting access to specific tools.

Step-by-step Guide to Using App Passwords in Bitbucket:

1. Login to your Bitbucket account.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Select 'App passwords'.
4. Click on 'Create app password'.
5. Enter a label for the app password and choose the specific access rights you want to grant.
6. Click 'Create'.
7. Copy the generated app password as this will be the only time you can see it.
8. Paste the app password in the third-party app or service where required.

Remember to keep your app passwords secure and avoid sharing them with anyone. You can always revoke app passwords if you suspect any security breach.
