Update the OAuth Token user name

[icornejo]

Hi;

I made a mistake when I initially signed onto bitbucket for work. The user name I signed up with was incorrect. I should have used my "work" username.

This is now causing some issues when I use bitbucket and sourcetree, because sometimes I use GIT using the command line, and it's using my "work" username, vs. the username in source tree.

I've tried adding a new authentication, but it won't let me type in a new username.

How do fix this issue?

Thanks!

Hi @icornejo

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

This one is a bit old, so you may have already solved it. In case it helps: an OAuth account in Sourcetree does not let you set a username on purpose. It inherits whichever Atlassian account is signed in through your browser when you authorize.

So I would:

• Remove the wrong account under Tools > Options > Authentication (Windows) or Sourcetree > Settings > Accounts (Mac).
• Log out of the wrong Atlassian account in your browser first.
• Add the account again, then authorize it with your work account.

Two things often missed: the old username can also sit inside the remote URL (https://olduser@bitbucket.org/...), which you fix in Repository Settings. And your command-line git keeps its own login in Windows Credential Manager or the macOS Keychain, so clear that entry too.

Cheers, Martin
