1. Access your Security page, under User settings, inside your VSTS instance.
2. Click Personal access tokens in the menu, under Security.
3. Click Add to create a new token.
4. Give it a brief description/name (e.g. TFS4JIRA).
5. Set expiration date and make choices you select the correct organization.
6. Set All scopes under "Authorized Scopes". This does not mean the synchronization will not work if you select what scopes you want to allow, but we have not scope by scope, so we don't have a list of scopes to provide. It's best to allow all scopes.
7. Click Create Token at the bottom of the page.
8. Make sure you copy the token. The token is not stored and you will not be able to see it again. If you lose it, you'll have to create a new one.
9. Access the TFS4JIRA Synchronizer and use the API token as your Password when setting up your VSTS instance's connection details.
