Authentication failed to bitbucket

Question

I\'m trying to push my project via the https protocol on bitbucket using sourcetree.
But I can\'t connect to bitbucket with my login and password (which work on the webs

Answer 1

The issue for me was that I did not have an account added to Sourcetree.

Adding an account allowed me to push to my repo:

Tools > Options > Authentication > Add > Refresh OAuth Token

Answer 2

I was trying the git push --all bitbucket call and it was throwing back the "fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://..." response. The solution that worked for me was to change the command to:

git push --all https://{username}@{url}

On Windows, this popped up a dialog that allowed me to enter my password and the push worked.

Answer 3

After fighting with this for a long time, it looks like I found something that seems to work. I was optimizing the urls to not include the username (keep it as generic as possible), but the authentication dialog kept popping up:

I tried everything that came into mind, such as:

1. Enable and disable MFA (Multi Factor Authentication)
2. Create app passwords (again, with and without MFA enabled)

No matter what tools I used (including SourceTree), nothing worked. The server kept returning: "Create an app password"

Basically you must

1. Use the url including the username (e.g. https://myusername@bitbucket.org/...)
2. Use an app password created in bitbucket

Would be so nice if the server would have returned this in the response instead of suggesting to use an app password...

Answer 4

I tried everything else and found helpless but this indeed worked for me "To update your credentials, go to Control Panel -> Credential Manager -> Generic Credentials. Find the credentials related to your git account and edit them to use the updated passwords".

• Inside company but will held true anywhere.
  • Logout from Bitbucket ( in case you are using)
  • Login with your credential
  • Go back to console
  • Fire the same command

On Mac, I needed to go to Preferences > Accounts, then add a new account as Bitbucket Server and enter my company's bitbucket server URL. Then I had to choose HTTPS as the protocol and enter my username (without @email) and password.

Also I set this new account as the default account by clicking the Set Default... button in the bottom of the Preferences > Account page.
