# Configuring Bitbucket Token Authentication and Email Support

### Introduction

Bitbucket is deprecating App Password authentication effective **June 9, 2026**. To ensure uninterrupted connectivity and support for Bitbucket API operations, AutoRABIT supports Token-based authentication and provides an Email Address field for Bitbucket credentials.

This guide explains how to configure and update Bitbucket credentials in AutoRABIT.

***

### Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure that:

* You have access to your Bitbucket account.
* A Bitbucket App Token has been generated.
* You know the email address associated with your Bitbucket account.

***

### When Is an Email Address Required?

An email address is required for Bitbucket API-based operations such as:

* Pull Request Creation
* Other Bitbucket REST API operations

The email address is not required for Git operations such as:

* Clone
* Fetch
* Push

***

### Configuring a New Bitbucket Credential

1. Navigate to **Settings → Credentials**.
2. Click **Create Credential**.
3. Select **Bitbucket**.
4. Enter:
   * Username
   * Token
   * Email Address (Optional)
5. Save the credential.

2. Verify that the credential contains:
   * Username

### Best Practices
