How to configure Jenkins to access Bitbucket Cloud with 2FA?

[Aiden.han]

Hi, I have a question about configuring Jenkins to access Bitbucket Cloud with 2FA(Two Step Verification).

When I applied 2FA to our workspace using Access controls, Jenkins couldn't access the workspace.

What should I do in this case?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Aiden.han and welcome to the community!

How is authentication for Bitbucket Cloud configured in Jenkins? Are you using the credentials of a Bitbucket account that has access to your workspace's repos?

If so, and if "Require two-step verification" is enabled for a workspace, then 2FA needs to be configured for the Bitbucket account that is used in Jenkins.

If the configuration in Jenkins allows it, you could also look into using a workspace access token instead:
