# Authenticating to Bitbucket with GitHub Desktop
|
|
|
|
## Creating a Personal Access Token in Bitbucket
|
|
|
|
To authenticate against Bitbucket repositories you will need to create a personal access token.
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your Bitbucket account and select **Personal Bitbucket settings** in the settings dropdown.
|
|
|
|
2. Select **App passwords**
|
|
|
|
3. Under **App passwords** click **Create app password**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Under the **Details** section in **Add app password** enter a label for your password
|
|
|
|
5. Under **Permissions** select `Read` and `Write` in the **Repositories** section to ensure that GitHub Desktop has the correct read/write access to your Bitbucket repositories.
|
|
|
|
6. Click **Create** to create a new token, and then copy the token to your clipboard.
|
|
|

|
## Cloning your Bitbucket repository in GitHub Desktop
|
|
|
|
1. Open GitHub Desktop and go to **File** > **Clone Repository** > **URL**. Enter the Git URL of your Bitbucket repository. Make sure you enter the correct URL, which should have the following structure:
|
|
|
|
`https://bitbucket.com/<username>/<repository>`
|
|
|
|
2. You will receive an `Authentication Failed` error. Enter your Bitbucket username and paste in the token you just copied to your clipboard as your password. Click **Save and Retry** to successfully clone the repository to your local machine in GitHub Desktop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **Note:** Your Bitbucket credentials will be securely stored on your local machine so you will not need to repeat this process when cloning another repository from Bitbucket.
