In order to use Assets imports, we have to allow Basic auth on API calls, which goes against Atlassian's own guidlines:

But also here: Basic auth for REST APIs
JSM and Assets are both aimed at enterprise customers, basic auth just won't cut it anymore for these kinds of customers (me included).
Atlassian went through the trouble of creating PAT's specifically to stop the use of Basic Auth... Allow us to use it!
Going the extra mile and allowing OAuth or User-context tokens would be fantastic, but already allowing simple api keys / bearer tokens would be a fantastic start!
