My GIT environment is set up correctly, but I get an error when cloning via HTTPS. I do have the correct access rights on BitBucket, and when I log in, I can see all the projects, including the one I want to clone.
I visited the website, and HTTPS is no longer supported.
How can I clone the project?
Update: I need to set up an App Password.
Terminal:
me@me:~$ git --version
git version 2.25.1
me@me:~$ git config --list
user.name=me
[email protected]
me@me:~$ git clone https://[email protected]/foo/bar.git
Cloning into 'bar'...

Solution
You need to set up an App Password.
On Bitbucket, follow these 6 steps.
Then, in Terminal:
git clone https://USERNAME:[email protected]/username/reposlug.git

Overview of what the link describes:
As you pointed out from the error message, from March 1, 2022, Bitbucket Cloud users will no longer be able to use their account passwords when using Basic authentication for Git over HTTPS.
This can be resolved by switching to App Password from Account Password. First, log in to BitBucket and follow the instructions specified to create an App Password in BitBucket once it is done set the origin URL to use the App Password.
