Anybody else having problems with /rest/auth/1/session?

Question

I have some code that was working on Friday (Sept 28 2018) but today (Oct 2 2018) does not.  Trying to diagnose, in Postman, I am POSTing to https://ourcompany.atlassian.net/auth/1/session, with the payload of:

{

"username": my user name,

"password": my password

}

but am consistently now getting LoginFailed.  I have tried both my account name and email address.  I swear this was working...

Ok.

Just a thought... in the future a more descriptive exception when changing existing functionality would be helpful.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

Hi Jason,

We recently depreciated the use of Passwords with API calls to Atlassian Cloud. Instead, you can generate tokens from id.atlassian.com and generally just use as a drop-in replacement any place you're currently using a password. The advantage of tokens is that they can be revoked easily!

For more info on setting up tokens if you need it, check out our knowledgebase.

Cheers,
Daniel
