Answer 1

You are typing the password, it just does not give you a visible reaction when entering characters (i.e. no * symbols). So just type your password correctly, press enter and it should work.

I use bitbucket a great deal. I notice that sometimes when I am cloning a very large repository I enter my password (which doesn't show) and then I press enter and then I have to wait for quite a while before anything will clone. A slow clone does tend to look like a hang. Try typing in your password, press enter, grab some coffee and come back. Works for me.

There are a few things that can be your problem but first understand that the terminal does let you type your password it just doesn't let you see it for security reasons. Another thing that can fix it is if you are using any numbers in your password try using the keys at the top of the keyboard instead of the keypad. But keep in mind you will not be able to see any of what is going on.
