Bitbucket Pipelines still asking for 2FA after I already enabled it.

Hi, I need help with enabling Pipelines. The settings page says I need to enable two-step verification to manage Pipelines. However, I already set up 2FA via an Authenticator app on my account.

Even with 2FA active, the "Enable Pipeline" toggle is still not working. Is there a known delay for this setting to update, or is there a specific trick to get Bitbucket to recognize my 2FA status?

Just to be sure, go to https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security and confirm that two-step verification is enabled there. (If it is not, enable it.)

Then, log out of Bitbucket completely and log back in. This is important because Bitbucket checks your 2FA status from the session token, and an older session may not reflect the updated security setting.
