Hey Azhagiri!

• The most common issue customers are experiencing related to authentication is due to the deprecation of GIT username/password in favour of App Passwords on 01/03/2022:

• If you are using a GIT client such as Sourcetree, please see the following steps:
  https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Sourcetree-articles/Bug-Fix-Sourcetree-for-Windows-authentication-error-when/ba-p/1965968
• You will need to make use of an AppPassword for communicating to GIT via HTTPS.
  We have documentation for usage of app passwords at the following link:
  https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/app-passwords/#Create-an-app-password
• Essentially, when connecting via *HTTPS* you will use your *AppPassword* alongside your username seperated with a ":" character.
• Therefore for example, if you are authenticating to *GIT over HTTPS* to push/pull you will need to update your remote URL's to include the *AppPassword*:
  

  git remote set-url origin https://USERNAME:APP_PASSWORD@bitbucket.org/username/reposlug.git

• The same applies when performing git clone:

  git clone https://USERNAME:APP_PASSWORD@bitbucket.org/username/reposlug.git

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
