Unable to enable Pipelines in one repository — asks for 2FA, but workspace setting is Premium-only
Hi Atlassian team,
I’m having an issue enabling Bitbucket Pipelines for one specific repository.
I’ve enabled Pipelines successfully in other repositories before, but in this repo, when I try to activate it, I get a message saying:
“Two-step verification is required to enable Pipelines.”
The confusing part is that when I check the workspace settings, the two-step verification requirement appears under Access controls, but that option seems to be tied to a Premium feature. So even if I want to enable it from there, I can’t.
A bit more context:
I already linked Bitbucket to my organization.
In our organization, we usually authenticate through Google, so we do not normally use Bitbucket 2FA separately.
This is happening only for one repository. I have been able to enable Pipelines in other repos without this requirement appearing.
So my questions are:
Why is this repository specifically requiring two-step verification to enable Pipelines?
Is this requirement coming from the repository, workspace, or organization level?
If workspace-enforced 2FA is a Premium feature, how are we supposed to satisfy this requirement for Pipelines in a standard setup using Google login?
Why did this not happen in other repositories where Pipelines was enabled successfully?
Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.
