Can't clone via vscode due to Authentication failed

[Iddo Goren]

Hi all,

I have installed VSCode on my mac, trying to clone a project.

I have created an access token, with all the permissions turned on.

(Repository Settings->Access Tokens)

When I click Clone in VSCode, it asks for the URL, I enter it.

When it asks for the password, I enter the access token provided by bit bucket.

I always get Authentication failed.

Is there anything more I need to do?

Thanks.

Hi Iddo and welcome to the community!

What URL are you using for cloning the repo?

When using a Repository Access Token, you need to use the following URL:

https://x-token-auth@bitbucket.org/workspace-id/repository.git

where workspace-id and repository replace with the values of the workspace-id where this repo belongs and the repo slug.

Documentation for reference: https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/using-access-tokens/

Using a URL like https://username@bitbucket.org/workspace-id/repository.git or https://bitbucket.org/workspace-id/repository.git is not going to work with the Repository Access Token.

Are you able to clone the repo this way?

Kind regards,
Theodora
