    Bitbucket is shifting away from app passwords towards the new Atlassian
    API tokens. It's already impossible to create new passwords, and they
    will stop working in June of this year.

    API tokens work very similar to app passwords (both are fundamentally
    just HTTP Basic auth), but there are two changes necessary:

    • Usernames are now e-mail addresses (where before they were explicitly
      not e-mail addresses).
    • API tokens only work with the https://api.bitbucket.org/ endpoint, and
      not the https://bitbucket.org/api/ endpoint.

    This change fixes up our form and API URL to handle this. Docs have been
    updated, along with a big notice at the top.

    I've also snuck in a fix for the GitHub PAT instructions to open the
    link in a new tab.

    • Added a new Bitbucket account using API tokens and verified that API
      calls worked as expected.
    • Ran unit tests.
    • Built the user manual.
