## What and why to refactor
Currently, the Bitbucket plugin in Apache DevLake relies on “App passwords”
for authentication to Bitbucket Cloud. Bitbucket has announced that on
**September 9, 2025**, creation of App passwords will be discontinued, and on
**June 9, 2026**, all existing App passwords will be deactivated. After these
dates, any DevLake connections using App passwords will break and fail to sync
Bitbucket data.
To ensure uninterrupted operation and long-term support for Bitbucket
integrations, we need to refactor the plugin to support the new **Bitbucket API
tokens** authentication mechanism.
## Describe the solution you’d like
1. **Support API token authentication**
- Add a new authentication mode in the Bitbucket connector configuration
to accept API tokens in lieu of App passwords.
- Update the DevLake client library to include the `Authorization: Bearer
<API_TOKEN>` header when connecting to Bitbucket Cloud.
2. **Migration path and validation**
- Detect at runtime which credential type is provided (App password vs.
API token) and validate accordingly.
- Provide clear error messages if an App password is used
post-deprecation or if an API token lacks required scopes.
3. **Documentation updates**
- Revise the “Connecting Bitbucket” docs to walk users through generating
API tokens, the required scopes (Account:Read, Workspace membership:Read,
Repositories:Read, Projects:Read, Pull requests:Read, Issues:Read,
Pipelines:Read, Runners:Read), and updating their DevLake blueprint.
4. **Backward compatibility and defaults**
- Preserve existing App password support until June 9, 2026 but display
deprecation warnings in logs and the UI.
- Default new installations to require API tokens only.
