Ask HN: How to Access Bitbucket Without Atlassian Cloud?

Posted by a_imho on Saturday September 03, 2016 @03:01PM

I would like to lookup some old code which is in a Bitbucket private repo, however it seems I can't login to Bitbucket unless I let Atlassian force me to create a Atlassian Cloud account.

Is there a way to recover my code?

Since they switched auth completely to Atlassian Cloud accounts I don't think so. What's so bad about migrating your account to an Atlassian Cloud one, to me it didn't seem to make much of a difference?

Mainly an ethical issue, I'm sure it is in their ToS somewhere they don't need to provide access but at least they could have sent a notification beforehand. Now I can't even delete my account. I don't agree it is simplified at all.

Sorry for the hassle. Though it's not your issue, we needed to clean up all the different identity systems we had created over the years (Bitbucket, HipChat, Atlassian cloud, Atlassian services). Nothing nefarious, and we have literally spent years planning to make it as seamless for customers as possible.

If you have any issues - contact [email protected].

The Atlassian account should not affect any SSH keys you may have added.
