Authentication Failed, cant access own bitbucket repo due to "invalid credentials"

Ottokard

Hello,

Im unable to push any commits to my own bitbucket repository. Unsure why.

I can add remotes, make commits, etc. but not push.

At first I though it was due to something wrong with my account, so I made a completely new one, only to face the same error.

Im unsure what Im doing wrong.

Is it something to do with the fact I use Gitkraken for anything involving Git?

Hi @Ottokard and welcome to the community!

Adding remotes and making commits are operations performed locally and they do not require authentication, while a push does.

Are you using HTTPS or SSH to push to the repo? Based on the output, it looks like you may be using HTTPS, but please correct me if I am wrong.

A common issue causing this error is that users often use their account's password and we have deprecated the use of account passwords for Git over HTTPS and API:

• https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bitbucket-articles/Announcement-Bitbucket-Cloud-account-password-usage-for-Git-over/ba-p/1948231

Your account's password can be used only for logging in to https://bitbucket.org/ from browser. If you want to clone, pull, or push to a repo with HTTPS, you can generate an app password for your account and use that instead of a password (in combination with your Bitbucket username):

Are you able to push this way?

If Git or GitKraken specifically are configured to use a credential manager, you may need to delete any stored credentials for bitbucket.org first.

Kind regards,
Theodora
