Login with IDE PHPStorm not working anymore

[Dennis Sagasser]

I cannot login with IDE for task management. Three weeks ago it worked. Does anybody have the same issue?

Hey Dennis,

We've been rolling out changes to how people can authenticate to Atlassian Cloud. Passwords over basic authentication are now deprecated in favor of tokens - these have the very wonderful advantage of not being tied to your password and easily revokable.

You'll want to generate a new API token at id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens and drop that in where you password is currently saved in PHPStorm. 

The full steps from our knowledgebase:

Create an API token

Create an API token from your Atlassian account:

1. Log in to https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens.
2. Click Create API token.
3. From the dialog that appears, enter a memorable and concise Label for your token and click Create.
4. Click Copy to clipboard, then paste the token to your script, or elsewhere to save:
   
   

Note:
For security reasons it isn't possible to view the token after closing the creation dialog; if necessary, create a new token.
You should store the token securely, just as for any password.

Cheers,
Daniel

Thanks Daniel. You saved my life :-D. Good to know that the token can be used as password in PHPStorm: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/PHPStorm-and-JIRA-task-managment/qaq-p/1060221.
