I am trying to create a pipeline job with the pipeline script from SCM option. I am using a bitbucket cloud repo I would like to configure it with Bitbucket project access tokens. > **[Using Project Access Tokens | Bitbucket Cloud | Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/using-project-access-tokens/)** > > How to use Bitbucket Project Access Tokens with Bitbucket APIs and Git CLI There doesn’t seem to be a plugin that directly supports this type of authentication. It works if I include the token directly in the URL but then its visible all over the place including build logs. It would be nice if it could be stored as a secret somewhere and injected in the URL as needed, for example: [https://x-token-auth:$bitbucket-token@testorg/test.git](https://x-token-auth:%24bitbucket-token@testorg/test.git) I know this is possible directly in build scripts with credential binding but I cant find a way to do it for the SMC url configured directly in the jenkins UI. ---

Have you tried creating a Jenkins username / password credential with the username `x-token-auth` and the password the value of the bitbucket token? The syntax of that URL looks very similar to a username / password URL. ---
