Where is the app password applied within the TortoiseGit application?
Hi, @dstitt!
Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!
I found this link from the official site of TortoiseGit:
https://tortoisegit.org/support/faq/#howremembercredentials
and their doc has as an answer this StackOverflow thread:
Also, in case you would like to read more about the App password, you can access the following Bitbucket doc:
https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/app-passwords/
I hope this helps, but please let me know if you have any other questions about this subject.
Kind regards,Caroline
Thanks Caroline,
The StackOverflow thread gives many solutions. With many comments on some working and others not for users.
Any chance of creating a step by step guide for us? I can't seem to work out where to start.
Cheers,
Paul
Hi, Paul.
This GUI client is not developed by Atlassian, so we’re not aware of all options related to authentication and also if there are differences in different versions of the product. Such a manual/guide would need to be created by TortoiseGit who has developed this product. In case you would like to contact TortoiseGit support, you can access this page: https://tortoisegit.org/support/
Hi Caroline,
I worked out the way it works now.
The trick I didn't work out is that I use my same username as my normal BitBucket username, and then use App Password, instead of the normal login password.
I am not getting the warning message after the Push/Pull so I assume I have done it correctly.
Step A: Settings > Saved Data > Clear the Authentication data.
Step B : Remove Old Password under Remote URL (if entered)
Step C : Setup new Credential
1. Select Git > Credential > Select "G" for Global
2. Enter your BitBucket Repository URL
3. Enter your normal BitBucket username
4. Select Apply
Step D : Then when you Push/Pull
Enter your "App Password" which you have generated from BitBucket from the link
I hope that helps others.
