App Passwords and BitBucket / TortoiseGit / Pageant

I had an email Atlassian today saying I must start to use App Password for linking with BitBucket.

I use:

  • TortoiseGit
  • Pageant

Up until now I have always input a passphrase each morning I do my first commit and there after I get no prompts.

I have followed the instructions to create an App Password but I do not know how to change TortoiseGit / Pageant to use this new App Password.

Solution

  • You only need to use an AppPassword when you're not using an SSH key for authentication.

    IIRC the AppPassword can just be entered as a password when you use an HTTPS-based remote.
