how to updload my code into new repository

Question

I can not push my local repository to a newly created repository on bitbucket
I cd to my project folder, then enter
git init
git add -A (needed to add an exception on the first try)
git commit -m 'initial commit'
this list my files in the local repository
git remote add origin https://bitbucket.org/...
git push -u origin main

I am asked for username and password
very confusing what my 'username' would be but I tried all possible combinations and I am very sure that I entered the correct password (I can at least login to bitbucket with it)
the response is always 'Invalid credentials'

I have even tried to completely sign off from bitbucket and atlassian, waited the 10 days period and started from  fresh.

I still get "invalid credentials" and am completely stuck

Hi @juerg and welcome to the community!

When you clone, pull, or push to a Bitbucket repo with basic authentication over HTTPS, you need to use the following credentials:

* your Bitbucket username, which can be found here (after you log in to the website): https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/
* an app password for your account with at least Repositories - Read and Write permissions: https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/app-passwords/

Your account's password can be used only for logging in to https://bitbucket.org/ from browser, it cannot be used for Git operations over HTTPS.

When you set a remote URL for your clone, it is also common to include the username in the URL as follows:

git remote add origin https://username@bitbucket.org/workspace-id/repo.git

Please feel free to let us know how it goes and if you need further assistance.

Kind regards,

I think the username would be the email address you created your Atlassian account with.

But, for the long run, your life will be easier if you use SSH based authentication. It will not ask for credentials at every push and it is secure.
