Credentials.json deprecated?

Jira Development Jira Cloud

Hi,
My atlassian-connect dev environment stopped working today with the error
Failed to register with host https://admin:password@instance.atlassian.net (401)
Add-on not registered; no compatible hosts detected.

All I can think of is that logging in with user:password is no longer supported, but I didn’t find the documentation.
Any pointers?
Thanks
Jerry

Hi @jerry.laster, basic auth has been deprecated for Jira and Confluence: https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/deprecation-of-basic-authentication-with-passwords-for-jira-and-confluence-apis-972355348.html
Deprecation notice - Basic authentication with passwords and cookie-based authentication

You will have to change how you authenticate in your test instance like moving using OAuth

You need to use a API token in place of password. You can generate an API token in you Atlassian Account settings for the username (which by they way should be your email).

To generate an API Token: Atlassian account

Thanks a lot @rwhitbeck, @rmassaioli, @biro
Just in case someone else comes checking for this, the only change needed to credentials.json on atlassian-connect express apps to connect to the dev environment is to change

        "username": "email used for installing the addon",
        "password": "API token"

Fantastic - fixed the issue for me. Thanks.
