Sourcetree Authentication Failed

Question

When adding a default account in Sourcetree to access a remote repo on Bitbucket server, I keep getting authentication failures even though the same credentials function on Bitbucket server. Here's the error:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false -c credential.helper=sourcetree push -v --tags strackanalytics refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master

Pushing to http://URL:7990/scm/.../.git

Hi, we have the same problems with GitHub. Something does not work with the two-factor authentication. Very annoying as there is no help from Atlassian.

I'm also getting this error. I've tried deleting and reinstalling Sourcetree and changing my authentication method between https & OAuth, but neither helps. This started sometime last week, possibly coinciding with an upgrade from Sourcetree 2.3 to Sourcetree 2.7.
