remote: Invalid username or password. Invalid username or password

[Samir Farhat]

Hi,

Yesterday, i have hit the following issue when autheticating to bitbucket (for git)

###################

remote: Invalid username or password. Invalid username or password. If your organization manages your account or you’ve enabled two-step verification, create an app password to log in: https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/9DJmMQ
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://bitbucket.org/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx.git/'

###################

When i append my user name to the URL, it works:

fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://username@bitbucket.org/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx.git/'

but the normal URL dos not work.

**Solution**

The problem was coming from the last Git version git version 2.18.1 .windows.1 . Installing the version git version *2.16.2.windows.1* works

git version 2.18.1.windows.1 was causing the issue. Installing git version 2.16.2.windows.1 works
