Can't log into my Bitbucket account

I'm getting this message, no matter browser, device or network I try:

We couldn’t log you in

You may run into this issue when you use specific browsers or add-ons that hide the referer header for id.atlassian.com and other Atlassian sites. Check for these and then try logging in again.

Hi @Mikołaj Kuik

Welcome to the community.

I can see that your Bitbucket Cloud account was marked as a dormant account due to not logging in to Bitbucket.org for a long period of time.
I went ahead and reactivated it and you should be able to log in now.

Let me know how it goes.

Regards,

Hello @Mark C

Thank you. For sure it helped, now I am able to log in to Bitbucket and manage some workspaces/repositories. Unfortunatelly, still not able to clone repository (from command line). Getting "Invalid credentials" error. Tried to change password but it didn't help...

Hi @Mikołaj Kuik

Could you confirm if you are using an App password as your password credential?
If not, could you try to generate one and use it as your password?

Let me know how it goes.

Yes, I'm using App password (and it works) but isn't it workaround? Not really convenient solution while working with command line.

Hi @Mikołaj Kuik

Unfortunately, the Atlassian password is now deprecated to be used for API and Git authentication, all customers must now use an app password or access tokens when authenticating to Bitbucket Cloud Git or API.

You can check this blog post for more information: Deprecating Atlassian account password for Git and Bitbucket API activity

git clone https://[username]@bitbucket.org/[workspace-name]/nowasys-website.git
Cloning into 'nowasys-website'...
Password for 'https://[username]@bitbucket.org':
remote: You may not have access to this repository or it no longer exists in this workspace. If you think this repository exists and you have access, make sure you are authenticated.
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://bitbucket.org/[username]/nowasys-website.git/'


I faced the same problem, please go to API token ,

1- Top right Bitbucket personal setting,
2- Select the access management let side of menu or follow this link, https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens.

3- Create api token with scope and add read/write permissions in copes, save and use token password for login when it ask for password.
