The problem with log in to BitBucket

  • Hi,

    I'm unable to log in to my Bitbucket account due to a two-step verification issue, and I've exhausted the self-service options.

    **The problem:**
    Every 6-digit code I enter from Google Authenticator is rejected with "Invalid two-step verification code." This started suddenly about 2 days ago — nothing changed on my end (no new phone, no app reinstall, no OS update, no time-zone change).

    **What I've already tried:**
    - Verified my phone's date/time is set to automatic and confirmed accurate against time.is
    - Restarted the phone
    - Entered codes immediately on refresh, well within the 30-second window
    - Confirmed there are no duplicate Bitbucket entries in my Authenticator app
    - Attempted login via id.atlassian.com — same rejection
    - The "recovery code" link on the 2FA prompt redirects to a documentation page rather than a form, so I have no way to enter my recovery key
    - Pasting my recovery key directly into the verification field is also rejected

    **Confirming the account itself is healthy:**
    SSH access to my repositories works perfectly — `ssh -T git@bitbucket.org` returns `authenticated via ssh key`. So credentials and key pairing are intact; the issue is isolated to the web 2FA flow.

    **What I'm requesting:**
    Please reset two-step verification on my account so I can reconfigure it from scratch. If there's a working path to use my recovery key that I've missed, I'd appreciate being pointed to it.

    I submitted an account recovery request earlier today as well, but waiting 24 hours is blocking my work, so any faster resolution would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

Hello @hed_b_mishmarot_com 

I see that a two-step verification recovery email was sent on May 11th. 

Can you please let us know if you're still experiencing issues?
