Hey!

I have 2FA enabled on my Atlassian account. The only Atlassian product my org currently uses is Bitbucket, and when I log into bitbucket via my Atlassian account I'm required to use my @FA credential in addition to my password, which is great. I can see that I have 2FA enabled on my account at https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security

I'd like to force our bitbucket workspace to make all users use 2FA if they want to log in. However, I can't do this because Bitbucket tells me that 2FA isn't enabled on my account.  This is true - if I go to https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/two-step-verification/ I see that I don't have 2FA enabled on my bitbucket account.

I have several questions arising from this:


1) How do I force all users to use 2FA when logging into bitbucket?

2) Will doing 1) force me to change how I log into Bitbucket and what credential I use?

3) Will doing 1) force me to change how I log into my Atlassian account and what credential I use?

4) What is the distinction between these two accounts?
