Password not working on SourceTree

[David Mandeeli]

Ok I'm having trouble cloning a project on my Bitbucket.

I have SourceTree installed and when I clone a project using Bitbucket site I get a authentication log in.

I used my username and password (i'm pretty sure i used the correct one since i tried it on the bitbucket site and it worked) but sadly it doesn't accept and just sends me a Authentication failed error.

Please see https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-3944 for updates and a work around. A new release will be coming tomorrow morning San Francisco time.

[Murray Francis]

I just installed the latest ST update 1.6.24.0 for Windows, and now am getting Authentication Failed across multiple different Bitbucket accounts. Team members who are still on 1.6.23 are fine, all who have upgraded to 1.6.24 are failing auth.

[Dune C]

I'm having the same issue on Windows 10, just updated to 1.6.24.0.

[Murray Francis]

I just uninstalled 1.6.24 and reinstalled 1.6.23 and that version works fine (good news is uninstall and reinstall doesn't lose your repo configs). The problem with 1.6.24 is it loses all your accounts under Tools -> Options - Authentication tab. http://downloads.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/windows/SourceTreeSetup_1.6.23.exe

[Allan Korol]

Same issue for me. Updated to 1.6.24 this morning and could not commit anything, though I could browse the repos I have. Downgraded to 1.6.23 and all is well. Thanks for the link!

[jonathonracz]

Same issue on 1.6.24, Windows 10.

[Dennis Kong]

After downgrade to 1.6.23 and look into Authentication tab again and found that in the new version 1.6.24, the host changed from (bitbucket.org in 1.6.23) to (http://www.bitbucket.org in 1.6.24), maybe it aroused the authenication problem

[sonnysavage]

Thanks for the link to download the previous version. I ran into the same issue with authenticating to BeanstalkApp repositories

[Duong Dieu Phap]

I also have the same issue on 1.6.24, Win 7

[Jared Mulconry]

I've ran into the same issue. I've submitted a bug. https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-3948

[Winterhearted]

Same for me: 1.6.24 - can't authenticate with correct credentials; 1.6.23 - works fine.

[Tu Nguyen]

Same issue on 1.6.24, Windows 10.

[minnsey]

Hi, yes we've seen this reported a number of times and are currently investigating. Apologies for the problems.

[minnsey]

Also can I just check, my testing so for indicates using SSH for git interactions works correctly the problem is with HTTP/HTTPS. Does that sound correct?

[Surya Suluh]

+1, https login from 1.6.24, Windows 10 is dead

[Deleted user]

Yes HTTPS login does not work fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://';

[Fabian Manzano]

Thank you for the link to download previous version (1.6.23) that worked for me

[minnsey]

Please see https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-3944 for further updates.

[peterwong86]

I just updated to 1.6.24.0 and also experiencing the same problem on Win10 Wasn't an issue prior to the update

[Carmela Umali]

Haven't they released an update to fix din? I do not want to uninstall and install again. I'm worried about all the preferences and settings too. Please release a fix on this asap.

[dror nir]

@Carmela Umali i unistalled and then installed v1.6.22 and all my preferences are the same

[Jerker Edenborg]

The Askpass.exe.config fix worked for me. I just added it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Atlassian\SourceTree

[Deleted user]

The rolling back to 1.6.23 worked for me. Advised our team to avoid 1.6.24 Cheers J

[Yirkash]

Askpass.exe.config fix worked for me as well. The fix can be found in the above JIRA ticket posted by Michael Minns.

[Walter Lin]

same issue, shame on you, atlassian.

[Bill Baker]

+1

[jimfrommichigan]

Askpass.exe worked for us as well. Will work until tomorrow's fix.

[Fernando F. Queiroz]

I am also with this problem. Only solved making the downgrade!

[Braian Correa]

The Askpass.exe.config from https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-3944 worked here as well.

[Dune C]

Thanks Murray, the rollback worked for me!

[Luis Felipe Lino]

There's a new update. I was with this problem too, but now with the new update it's fine.

[Deleted user]

I am having the same problem, but against an internal TFS server using windows authentication. Sourcetree keeps prompting me for my username and password despite working for a while, and I think it has caused my account to lock out the past two days. It was working fine until I changed my domain password last Friday...since then Sourcetree seems to lose my new password periodically. I'm reverting to 1.6.23 to see if that fixes these problems.

[Jacob]

I encountered an error like this while trying to register the software (e.g. to avoid free trial time limits), and it was driving me crazy. Eventually I discovered that the username and password I was entering were for BitBucket but the client wanted my Atlassian ID. Why these are not the same is a mystery to me, but why the client did not make it clear which credentials I should be entering is a design flaw.

[jb]

They already fixed it. Do a "Check for updates" in the app to upgrade to 1.6.25.

Ref: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-3957

[theTechnaddict]

Following a new install of Sourcetree 2.7 on a Mac the initial login succeeded but on the first access to remote repositories required another login which repeatedly failed using correct credentials. This was  solved as follows:

In sourcetree navigate to preferrences -> accounts.

Select the account listed and change the login type to OAuth - login form presented and credentials were accepted.

Remote repositories listed correctly.

Explanation (?)

On the initial login the licence file was downloaded from Atlassian completing the account details that had existed in a previous version - this used the username / password - authentication now uses email not password - by changing it to OAuth I was able to enter the new style email / password and reset the app.

[Schroef]

I tried this and for a brief second i see my avatar when the edit screen is open, as soon as i confirm it it goes blanc again

[Schroef]

i see this error

'Could not authorize request with the available token. Please re-authenticate.'

[Schroef]

Im new to this forum, tried adding a second note here and keeps beeing deleted some how???

Found a stack exchange post.  using this worked for me using ssh, using the beta version

ssh://git@github.com/USERNAME/REPONAME.git

Seems like the input is wrong when the app is used and account is setup?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

It is usually because the spam filters do not like links, especially to sites that are of poor quality such as stack overflow and stack exchange. 

Generalised sites like these do tend to have a lot of good expertise and excellent answers.  But because they can't accurately curate their content, when they go into  more specialised areas, they get swamped by people who really have no idea what they are talking about.  

[Schroef]

ahh, was thinking something like that. Well im no hardcore user, so i'm with those newbies which know S$#@ ;)

But wanted to give other users my solution here.

[JHaaga]

I'm using SourceTree for Mac. I had this issue for a long time, SourceTree was not able to log into Bitbucket but logging into Github etc worked fine. I just figured out that my username contained capital letters, and when logging in through SourceTree I had to enter my username in lower case only. If you came to this page and your username contains capital letter(s), try logging in with lowercase username.

[Parth Kothari]

Thanks a lot. Solved the bug (3 hrs wasted on this :/ )

[Frank Rauch]

Hi,

yesterday I solved my issue:  the reason I couldn´t connect was a special character (german umlaut) in my password that was not supported. This could be caused by a different codepage in Atlassian.

How to fix it fast and easy:   change your password -> use only supported characters for it.

[ccalvarez]

Same problem here.

OS version:  macOS Sierra Version 10.12.4

SourceTree version: 2.5 (104)

I can't log in to my Bitbucket account, receive this error message:

"Could not authorize request with the available token. Please re-authenticate." 

[Ryan Haines]

Still having this issue with Version 2.4 (93)

Regularly prevents me from pulling changes due to 'incorrect password' error even though the password is absolutely correct.

'Use the terminal' is not a solution - the whole reason I choose to use sourcetree is so that I don't have to user the terminal. If that's the solution it might as well be suggesting to uninstall sourcetree altogether.

[cuevasmanuel]

Try using the terminal option. The terminal never crashes, and it will allow you to enter the correct user name or to update password when needed.

I just upgraded to a new windows 10 computer with version 1.8.2.11.  When I try to clone my project, I get the attached error.  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.  I have put the same password in I use with my account so I know it is correct. error.PNG

[Deleted user]

I'm using version 1.7.0.32509 and I also keep getting the login window. When I type in my password I get no feedback and after 5-10 seconds a new login window pops up. I'm 100% sure I'm typing the correct password.

[John Haro]

Ditto for me also.  I can use the command line without any problems but not within SourceTree after the latest update.  Just had someone else try using the Mac version and it's working OK for them, so maybe just the Windows version? (1.6.24.0).

[jjenkov]

I got the same problem - both with Bitbucket and Github

[Majicpanda]

Great.. how long til this gets hotfixed? I can't find any link to go back to the previous version, has anyone else?

[James Boncek]

http://downloads.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/windows/SourceTreeSetup_1.6.23.exe

I just took that bad download link and edited it.

[Wendell Thompson]

nice!

[aleks123777 NA]

Таже проблема после обновления до 1.6.24. С темеже данными авторизации на IDE всё работает. в Source tree увы нет. Полное удаление программы со всеми данными не помогло. Использую Windows 8.1

[mdfalls]

Ditto. After the upgrade to 1.6.24, I tried to pull latest and get prompted for network credentials. Entering the correct credentials fails.

I uninstalled SourceTree and reinstalled version 1.6.23, and now authentication is working normally

(http://downloads.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/windows/SourceTreeSetup_1.6.23.exe)

[Anton Tsarenko]

I have some error, after update to 1.6.24, password is 100% correct (i change him on Bitbucket site now) but can`t login in SourceTree to Bitbucket

[duongvu89]

I got the same problem with 1.6.24. I reverted to the older version and it works!

[JeromeSelinger]

Got the same problem and it is a real show stopper. We have a release tomorrow and I need to get working now.

[Amir Habib]

I get the "Authentication failed" error since last update (1.6.24)
Username and password are 100% correct ( I can login to bitbucket.org )
Reboot, didn't help.

[andrew dasilva]

Just updated source tree to v1.6.24 and now I can't get authentication to commit to bitbucket.

[János Pál]

Having the same problem as Murray Francis.

Using Windows 8.1, upgraded to v1.6.24 today and had to revert to v1.6.23 to get authenticated on my git account. Please fix this asap.

[Jeremy Guillaume - SNAPKIN]

Hello,

I had the same source tree password issue with Bitbucket Server (on local server) and Bitbucket Cloud.
The issue can appeare when you have an incorrect proxy configuration on source tree.

I removed my proxy configuration with Tools -> Options -> Use default operating system settings.

This solved my problem
