App Passwords for SourceTree seem to stop working after a few days

Dan Dickout

Every time I create an App Password for SourceTree I am able to login. For a few days it will work fine any time I want to commit or pull. Then one day the password just stops working. 

It is always when I first try to do something that day but it seems to happen every 5-10 days. 

I have gone through this cycle of creating a new App Password for SourceTree about 8-10 times now since being forced to switch.

It is a real PITA.

Hi,

Sorry to hear about this problem.  There is a related community post that I think might apply here.  Please see https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Sourcetree-articles/Bug-Fix-Sourcetree-for-Windows-authentication-error-when/ba-p/1965968

In that post David outlines some steps you can take to work around this problem.

I hope that helps.
