Enabling Bitbucket MFA
From your avatar, click Personal settings.
Click Two-step verification under Security.
Review the requirements and make sure you've fulfilled them all.
Enter your Atlassian Account password and click Set up two-step verification.
If your Atlassian account does not have a password, you'll need to set one in order to set up two-step verification.
You can set a password for your Atlassian account using password recovery.
Once you've set a password, log in to Bitbucket again and proceed.
Scan the QR code using your mobile devices and enter the resulting code in the Verification code field. If your mobile device cannot successfully scan the code, you can use the information in the Account and Key fields to connect your application. See the instructions for your authentication application to complete the process.
Download or otherwise record your recovery codes and keep them in a secure place where you can access them.
Having recovery codes is critical to recovering your account should you lose access to your authentication application. In addition to downloading a text file, you might want to print a version of your recovery codes to have a physical copy as a resource of last resort. Atlassian cannot disable two-step verification for any Bitbucket user account.
You're all set up! The next time you log into Bitbucket you'll need to use a verification code to access your account.
