Bitbucket app password deprecation

We currently use an app password to authenticate from jenkins to bitbucket cloud (we use multi-branch pipelines for branch detection). However we recently saw a deprecation notice for app passwords saying we should move to api-tokens, but I guess that api-tokens can't be used for this case (we keep getting 401 errors when we use an api-token). How should we setup our authentication when we can't use app-passwords anymore?

Hi @Yentl Frickx 

I'm assuming you need to connect to the Bitbucket Cloud REST API with Jenkins, correct? Are you achieving this via a webhook on the Bitbucket Cloud side or is it an integration on the Jenkins side?

Cheers!
