Integration with Codacy

[ChatHong]

tried to setup integration with Codacy based on the instructions here, https://support.codacy.com/hc/en-us/articles/213280129-JIRA

Unfortunately received the message below.

Success followed by Failed Authentication check username and password.

The username has administrator privilege.

Please advise.

Hi!

We've been rolling out some changes in how authentication happens with out Cloud products. Passwords have been deprecated in favor of tokens for API requests (and integrations). The benefit of tokens is that they can be assigned per-application and can easily be revoked. It's pretty simple to generate one:

1. Log in to https://id.atlassian.com.
2. Click API tokens, then Create API token.
3. Use Copy to clipboard, and paste in the password field for Codacy

You can read more about using tokens here.

Cheers,
Daniel
