I have had this problem for ages, years. It's totally doing my head in.
I have done clean installs, tried to gouge out any remnants of SourceTree profiles (as far as I can tell), but it just keeps happening.
I continuously get a popup (see inserted photo) that prompts me for my Bitbucket credentials. I have entered them countless times and they are correct. I use them to login to the site just fine. I can push commits to my private Bitbucket repos with them. It doesn't matter what I do, this popup just keeps on trucking.
Any ideas before I put a shovel through my screen !!!!
Am on Windows 10 using SourceTree version 2.1.25. This has been happening on all version as far back as I can remember.
I've been dealing with this seemingly forever, trying every solution I could find. This here, is the correct answer.

Ben, where do I set these values? Is it in a file somewhere?
I'm using Embedded Git version 2.17.1/LibGit2Sharp 0.24.0 + git-lfs v2.4.2 + Git LFS Bitbucked Adapter v1.0.6 on Windows Sourcetree Version 2.6.10.0.
Thanks in advance!

I also had problems with git (2.41.0.windows.1) insisting on asking for password for every remote operation. Disabling the fancy prompt based on the above just resulted in git-askpass.exe being used to prompt for password.
It turns out this can be solved by enabling the "Account Read" permission when creating the app password.

This did not work for me. After doing
git config --global --replace-all credential.interactive false
git config --global --replace-all credential.modalPrompt false
Now I cant pull or push because it says:
fatal: Cannot prompt because user interactivity has been disabled.
I've been trying to solve this issue for months - its incredibly frustrating to not only have to enter your SSO password in the browser every git operation, but it ask for it every few minutes intellij is open too.
It used to work fine, but now I have a new laptop and something is different.
What's missing is a "remember me" option on the Atlassian login dialog or similar. It offers "sign in with browser" or password/token. What's the point of using tokens if you have SSO integrated?

Hi Dean! Have you tried wiping your SourceTree preferences following these steps already? If after that, the issue still persist, please provide the following information:
Best regards,
Ana

Thanks for the reply Ana.
Pretty sure I wiped the prefs previously.
But I yesterday I did remove all projects except for my latest one from the Bookmarks. I haven't noticed the popup today.
So seems to be related to a particular project. Also I might not have always had Pageant running with keys. So it might be combo of your 2nd and 3rd points.
I'll gradually check to see what project might be causing issue.
Thanks again.

I have the same issue, without having SourceTree installed.
From inspecting the popup process, it's being spawned by a `git` process, which is child of VS Code. I believe that happens because it's trying to check for any updates available on my remote (it's a https repo).
Even if I enter the correct credentials, it still reopens after a while.

I had this same problem and ended up fixing it by creating an App Password in Bitbucket, and then logging into the login dialog using my username and app password.
