Login using API Token

You can log into your Jira Cloud account using an API token instead of a password. This improves security and is the recommended method for authentication. Follow the steps below to create an API token for your Atlassian account.

  1. Log into https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens.

  2. Click Create API token.

  3. Copy the API token.

Note

  • For security reasons it is not possible to view the token after closing the creation dialog. If necessary, create a new token.

  • Store the token securely, just like a password.
