When I tried to log in I was prompted to "upgrade my account" to a "Bitbucket Cloud" account. After doing so, all of my repositories were gone. It seems that my repositories remained on my "Bitbucket ""Regular""" account but that my email address was no longer associated with it, giving me no way of logging in to it. I emailed support 6 hours ago and have yet to get a response.

Wow Atlassian... That is quite horrifying! Glad I stuck with GitHub through the MS acquisition. Bitbucket was probably my main alternative.

Yep. Luckily I was able to recover the most important one - a website I'd built a couple years ago for a paying client - from Heroku, of all places.

For the record, Azure DevOps did the same thing to me when we switched over to Azure AD. My account and repositories ended up in an entirely corrupt state. Support was eventually able to resolve most of it, but I’m still discovering problems.

I shudder at the thought of GitHub one day trying to integrate with people's Microsoft accounts.
