Recently, Bitbucket have stopped accepting the use of account passwords when connecting to repositories via HTTP. If you're connecting to any Bitbucket repositories in [DeployHQ](https://www.deployhq.com) currently, you may see an error like the following:

```
Command failed to execute: remote: Bitbucket Cloud recently stopped supporting account passwords for Git authentication.
remote: See our community post for more details: https://atlassian.community/t5/x/x/ba-p/1948231
remote: App passwords are recommended for most use cases and can be created in your Personal settings:
remote: https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/app-passwords/
fatal: Authentication failed
```

Similarly to when GitHub moved across to HTTP authentication using Personal Access Tokens (PAT), you can now set up an [App Password](https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/app-passwords/) to connect instead.

The majority of users connect via SSH which will not be affected, but for those of you preferring HTTP, you can update any existing repositories by [following our guide](https://www.deployhq.com/support/projects/updating-your-project-repository#updating-the-repository-manually).

As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to [reach out](mailto:support@deployhq.com).
