To use SSH with Bitbucket, you create an SSH identity containing a private key (on your local computer) and a public key (uploaded to Bitbucket) which create a key pair. After setting up SSH between your local system and Bitbucket, your system uses the key pair to authenticate you automatically to anything to which the associated account has access.

For security reasons, we recommend that you generate a new SSH key and replace the existing key on your account at least once a year.
