migrating from Bitbucket App Passwords to API Tokens

Hi Atlassian Support,

We are migrating from Bitbucket App Passwords to API Tokens as required by the CHANGE-3222 deprecation deadline (July 28, 2026).

We are trying to authenticate Jenkins with Bitbucket over HTTPS using a Personal API Token but keep getting authentication failures.

Setup details:
- Jenkins Git Plugin (latest)
- Repository URL: https://bitbucket.org/SymTrain/jenkins-pipelines.git
- Credential type: Username with password
- Username tried: x-bitbucket-api-token-auth (as per Atlassian docs)
- Username tried: Atlassian account email
- Username tried: Bitbucket username
- Password: Personal API Token generated from id.atlassian.com

Error received:
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://bitbucket.org/SymTrain/jenkins-pipelines.git/'
