Bitbucket Cloud recently stopped supporting account passwords for Git authentication

Question

I have pushed the code in the morning it was working fine but now I'm trying to push code but getting this error: Bitbucket Cloud recently stopped supporting account passwords for Git authentication

Answer 1

You can also make the update in Sourcetree pretty easily, but you still need to create an app password first.

Create App Password:

1. Navigate to: https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/app-passwords/
2. Create an App Password with the required permissions

The password will only show once, so make sure to copy it as you will need it later.

Update in Sourcetree:

1. Click the settings button on the top right corner of the repository tab
2. In Repository Settings -> Remotes: double click the Path for origin.
3. In Remote Details -> Required Information: edit the URL/Path by adding the app password that was created with your account, the format must be as shown below:

https://{{BitbucketUsername}}:{{AppPassword}}@bitbucket.org/{{RepoName}}.git
