Leveling up your Cloud security with 2FA and IP Whitelisting
Feb 28, 2017Alastair Wilkes

Summary
This post introduces two significant security enhancements for Bitbucket Cloud: required two-step verification (2FA) and IP whitelisting. Required 2FA ensures all team members enable two-step verification to access private content, acting as a critical defense against password compromise. IP whitelisting restricts access to private repositories and other account content to a predefined set of IP addresses, providing an additional layer of security against unauthorized access even with stolen credentials. These features are part of the Bitbucket Premium plan and are presented as solutions for teams with stringent security needs, particularly those migrating from on-premise solutions.
