I can't log in to my Bitbucket account.

I'll bet I'm not the only one, but I've Googled a bunch and can't quite find the solution.

I've been using–and can still use by manually pushing or through the Xcode git interface–Bitbucket. I have an account with a username that is not my email.

I created an Atlassian account with a username that is my email.

If I try to log in to my Bitbucket account through the web interface at https://bitbucket.org/account/signin/, I get the error, "You must use your email address when authenticating with your Atlassian account."

If I then log in with my Atlassian account email and password, it says, "Success! Almost done. Please choose a username for your Bitbucket account." If I then enter my Bitbucket username it says "that username already exists."

How can I access my existing Bitbucket account?

Hi Craig - apologies that you're experiencing issues logging in. Would you mind dropping an email to support at bitbucket dot org so we can take a look at your account specifically? Thanks!

Sadly I can't log into Bitbucket dot org–the fundamental problem cited in the post.

Indeed, sorry about that! You can email us directly without having to log in.

I have a similar issue; until yesterday; I was able to navigate the web, commit using TortoiseGit no issues;

Today morning pop-up appears asking me email/user-name and password; using the same email and password I use for Atlassian account which is managed by Google. Fails all the time

I already tried reset password but in vain; redirects me to Atlassian password reset page from where I receive the email and this does not ask me new password instead logs me back in successfully; Which is correct as my Atlassian account is hooked to Google

If I log out from Atlassian and sign back in using Google authentication and navigate to bitbucket; it's fine

But cannot use the same credentials to perform GIT operations via git commands or tortoise git or Sourcetree

BTW; I am posting this using the same account

Fix it ASAP

Hi Dave

Sorry about that - it looks like we missed updating an error message state.

Since your account is managed by Google, you will have to use an App password instead of your password: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/app-passwords-828781300.html

We'll get that error message fixed ASAP.
