App password

[neilyoung2512]

The number of incoming mail increases the last weeks, warning about 

"Beginning March 1, 2022, you will no longer be able to use your Atlassian account password when using Basic authentication with the Bitbucket API or Git over HTTPS. For security reasons, we require all users to use Bitbucket app passwords."

I think this is a similar move as like Github did with the personal access token. I'm just wondering if this change also hits the web dashboard, or is this completely unrelated? Will I also have to use an "app" password instead of "ordinary" username/password authentication to access my projects via the web dashboard at https://bitbucket.org/dashboard/overview

Please clarify. Thanks in advance
