Does install_bitbucket work with (new, required) API tokens with scopes?

[tersmitten]

App passwords has been replaced by API tokens. As of September 9, 2025, app passwords can no longer be created. It's required to use API tokens with scopes instead. All existing app passwords will be disabled on June 9, 2026.

I used to install (private) packages from Bitbucket using devtools::install_bitbucket with the environment variables BITBUCKET_USER (my username) and BITBUCKET_PASSWORD (a App password) filled in. Now that it's no longer possible to create new App passwords and they will stop working in a few months what are we supposed to use?

Does install_bitbucket already work with API tokens with scopes? Do I just replace my App password with a API token with scopes in the BITBUCKET_PASSWORD variable or is there more to it?

Thanks in advance.

Sys.setenv(BITBUCKET_USER = 'foo')
Sys.setenv(BITBUCKET_PASSWORD = 'App password')

devtools::install_bitbucket(repo = "bar/r-helpers")
# works

Sys.setenv(BITBUCKET_USER = 'foo')
Sys.setenv(BITBUCKET_PASSWORD = 'API token with scopes')

devtools::install_bitbucket(repo = "bar/r-helpers")
# does not work
