Deadline for using password instead of API token for API calls?

Question

I was wondering whether there is a general deadline for all customers when API requests using basic authentication with username and password won't work anymore and we need to use API token or OAuth instead.

I would also like to know whether there is an instance when Basic Auth with API token authentication won't work but Oauth would?

Hi @API ,

Basic auth with passwords and sessions don't work anymore.

Please take a look at

Deprecation notice - Basic authentication with passwords and cookie-based authentication

ACJIRA-1465 and ACJIRA-1466
