My Bitbucket password is correct because I can easily log in with this password. When I try to push a project or file to Bitbucket it shows "Invalid credentials error".

git push -u origin master

fatal: Invalid credentials
Password for 'https://username@bitbucket.org':
remote: Bitbucket Cloud recently stopped supporting account passwords for Git authentication.
remote: See our community post for more details: https://atlassian.community/t5/x/x/ba-p/1948231
remote: App passwords are recommended for most use cases and can be created in your Personal settings:
remote: https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/app-passwords/
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://bitbucket.org/username/demo.git/'

How can I solve this issue?

When prompted to log in, use your username, but instead of your usual account password, use the app password:

To get the app password

  1. Go to the bitbucket.org website and log in
  2. From your avatar in the bottom left, and click Personal settings
  3. Click App passwords under Access management
  4. Click Create app password
  5. Give the app password sufficient rights, and a label related to the application that will use the password
  6. Don't forget to save that password

After 2022-03-01:

Beginning March 1, 2022, you will no longer be able to use your Atlassian account password when using Basic authentication with the Bitbucket Cloud REST API or Git over HTTPS.

  1. Go to: Personal settings, App passwords
  2. Create app password
  3. Tick the necessary permissions for your needs. Account Read and Repositories Read and Write are needed for basic Git actions.
  4. Save the password. You can not view it again!
  5. Use the generated password to log in. You might need to use your Bitbucket username that you can find on Personal settings, Account settings under "Bitbucket profile settings" (saw a post that told specifically to use the username don't know if it is true).

More information about app passwords is on App passwords.

After successfully creating the app password as mentioned by Asyraf Arifin:

To use Bitbucket "App Password" over HTTPS, you can then navigate to particular repository's path in Terminal then set the remote origin (for an already-cloned repository):

git remote set-url origin https://<Bitbucket_Username>:<App_Password>@bitbucket.org/<Bitbucket_Username>/<Repo_Name>.git

For a new clone:

git clone https://<Bitbucket_Username>:<App_Password>@bitbucket.org/<Bitbucket_Username>/<Repo_Name>.git

I had the same problem with my JetBrains IDE. It was showing a password dialog when I tried updated project sources or push my commits.

enter image description here

I solved the problem by following the below steps

  • Open App Passwords page of personal settings on the Bitbucket enter image description here
  • Click on Create app password and tick at least the read and write permissions of the repositories for the basic pull and push actions. Then give some label and submit by Create. enter image description here
  • The generated app password should be passed in IDE enter image description here

Well, my answer is just a compilation of the Mikk-Raudsepp and Anish answers. They are the real MVPs:

  1. Go to: Personal settings, App passwords

  2. Create app password

  3. Tick the necessary permissions for your needs.

  4. Copy the generated password

  5. On Terminal

    On an already-cloned project:

     git remote set-url origin https://<Bitbucket_Username>:<App_Password>@bitbucket.org/<username/repoName>.git

    To clone a new project:

     git clone https://<Bitbucket_Username>:<App_Password>@bitbucket.org/<username/RepoName>.git

Why is it happening? -

Beginning March 1, 2022, you will no longer be able to use your Atlassian account password when using Basic authentication with the Bitbucket Cloud REST API or Git over HTTPS.

Go to Personal settings from the menu at the top. Click on App passwords and set up the permissions as required as shown below.

Copy the generated password and use it on the authentication prompt. This will resolve the issue.

  • Go to Credential Manager → Windows Credentials → Add a generic credential

If any Linux user is facing the same issue, please follow the steps given below.

  1. Go to bitbucket.org
  2. Click on the Login link
  3. At the bottom left, click on your avatar icon (your profile picture).
  4. Then click Personal settings or you can open Personal settings, Account settings directly
  5. In the Access Management section, click on the App password link or you can go directly to Personal settings, App passwords
  6. Click on the Create App password button.
  7. Give the access rights as per your requirement.
  8. Click on Create.
  9. You get the pop up with a password. Copy that password somewhere in your laptop or pc (the given password will be difficult to remember).
  10. Now whenever you’re are performing a Git operation, like pull or push and if they asked for password. Instead of using your login password, you need to use the above password (one which is generated by the app password).

I created an app password, made sure the user is username and not email, updated the app password in Windows' Credential Manager, but adding the app password in the repository path finally resolved my issue:

from:

https://username@bitbucket.org/...

to:

https://username:app_password@bitbucket.org/...

For Mac users:

cd Library/Application\ Support/SourceTree

Delete your username here.

You can log in again.

If using Android Studio, edit your Git remote URL (via Git/Manage Remotes) by adding the new generated app password

https://<Bitbucket_Username>:<App_Password>@bitbucket.org/<Repo_Name>.git

user_96506680

If there is still an error after setup:

App passwords

Update settings remote repository path to this:

https://<Bitbucket_Username_not_email>:<App_Password_not_old_password>@bitbucket.org/<Full_Repo_Name_Path>.git

Try this passwordless login. With this, you will never need to worry about remembering the password again on your machine (don’t use this technique on public computers)

Set up an SSH key

user_37986620

Try creating ssh key and add ssh key to the bitbucket and try

If you already generated an app password, if you are using VSCode and you have installed the Atlassian extension, then click on the git pull/push button and this will open the login dialog. Click authorize and that's it. Now you are logged in.

I had some problems with this on my Mac using Android Studio. I fixed it by going into the Android Studio terminal tab and writing

git push

Then it told me that fatal: The current branch blabla_branch_name has no upstream branch. To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use

git push --set-upstream origin blabla_branch_name

So I copied and pasted that into the terminal and hit enter again. This time it asked me for a password. I went into my bitbucket account online and created a new app password. Then I copied that password that it created, and pasted it into the terminal and hit enter. This seems to have reconnected the device and bitbucket and things work again.

git remote set-url origin https://<Bitbucket_Username>:<App_Password>@bitbucket.org/<Repo_Name>.git

It worked for me.
