fatal: could not read Password for 'https://myusername@bitbucket.org': Permission denied

Question

Hi there,

When I try to git push I get:

I already did the SSH key setup as per:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/set-up-an-ssh-key-728138079.html

At the end of the procedure I tested the setup with:

ssh -T myusername@bitbucket.org

And it responds:

logged in as myusername.

You can use git or hg to connect to Bitbucket. Shell access is disabled.

Howerver, as soon as I try a git push I get the afore mentioned error.

Please help, thanks.

Hi @Eduardo Alvarez ,

Can you post your ssh troubleshooting steps?

ssh -i ~/path/to/identity_file user@bitbucket.org

I just ran this to confirm a working system from my system with my account.

Hi Anna,

I've tried the two options you mention, to no avail. At this point I am not sure if the error message comes from the remote Bitbucket server or if it comes from the local Linux OS. Is there a way to know?

I have registered my public key on my BitBucket project, but still no luck.

Thanks,

-Eduardo

Hi Eduardo, are you using the right protocol? Looks like you're using HTTPS instead of SSH, if you're using SSH it should look something like git@bitbucket.org:<repo_owner>/.git or ssh://git@bitbucket.org/<repo_owner>/.git If after using the right one you're still having issues, I advise you have a look at Troubleshooting SSH issues. Let us know how it goes! Kind regards, Ana
