Answer 1

This problem occurs because the password of your git account and your PC might be different. So include your user name as shown in the below example:

https://myusername@bitbucket.org/...

https: //devi@bitbucket.org/...

Answer 2

If you got authentication issues with the GIT console, you can try to switch your configuration to HTTPS and specify user & password with the following command :

https://<username>:<password>@bitbucket.org/<username>/<repo>.git

BUT CAREFUL: Coming back to this answer that I made a very long time ago, I want to give credits to @ChristopherPickslay for pointing out that the password is stored as clear text in the .git/config file.

If you want to roll with HTTPS, you can securely store your password with Git credential manager

But personnally, I now always use SSH authentification, as it seems to be a better practice, because you use a personal pair of public/private keys that will prevent your password to be stored outside. Apart from the fact you can put a passphrase on your key, and then you also need to store the password on a credential manager or ssh-agent.

If you made an account using google/ other oauth, then you need to set a bitbucket password for your account first. The URL for that is : https://bitbucket.org/account/user// or look for Bitbucket settings under the menu.

Then can login from git (I tried via command line). I use the built in manager for credentials :

credential.helper=manager

Now, after I set the password on the bitbucket site (email verified too), and tried to push again, it prompted me for the password, then pushed the code.

Answer 4

Tools > Options > Use System Git , then select the git.exe file

The credentials will be required again, and the problem will be solved.

Answer 5

Tools -> options -> git and selecting 'use system git' did the magic for me.

Answer 6

The issue was solved for me after changing the repository password, using no special characters (!"§$%&&).

Obviously, win-credential-store and git and bitbucket's web interface use different character encodings.

complete procedure:

D:\shared\Project> cd /path/to/your/project
D:\shared\Project> git init
D:\shared\Project> git remote add origin https://bitbucket.org/USERNAME/project.git
D:\shared\Project> git-credential-winstore.exe

then

D:\shared\Project> git push
Failed to erase credential: Element not found
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://bitbucket.org/USERNAME/project.git/'

After changing the passphrase:

D:\shared\Project> git push

user: USERNAME
pass: old incl!"§§$%&, new without!"§$%%&/( (your passphrase!)
