Okay, so I resolved my issue so, hopefully, the following may help anyone else who stumbles upon this.

My problem was that I was using my Microsoft credentials to attempt to authenticate. However, I recently discovered that you're able to generate Git credentials for your VSTS repo. If you navigate to your project on visualstudio.com and then to the repo tab you'll see 'Clone' in the top right. Clicking this will display a dropdown, which contains a button reading 'Generate Git credentails' (see screenshot), hit this and you'll be able to enter credentials that should then correctly authenticate on Bitbucket when selecting 'Import a repository'.

I hope this helps someone.

I have the same problem here. Tried several user name styles, too.

Import from gitHub was no issue at all.

Hi Raffaele! We'll need more information so we can help you with this. Are you migrating to Bitbucket Server or Cloud?

The easiest way to migrate them would be to have those projects locally on your computer and then import them to Bitbucket. You need to follow the steps at Importing code from an existing project for Bitbucket Server, or Import a repository if you're moving to Bitbucket Cloud.

Let us know if you have any questions!

I'm looking to migrate a VS Team Services (cloud version ... hosted at visualstudio.com) project to BitBucket Cloud. I use git commands on the local repo so I'm thinking I should be able to import as a Git repo. At the authentication challenge I'm using my VSTS credentials but not gaining access.

I am having the exact same issue as @Raffaele Zurlo & @Steve Hueners above. I've included a screenshot to show the authentication failure. I am already using git to commit to VSTS... how do I retain the commit history if I'm unable to use the import repository function?

Is there an alternative approach?
