Account inactive error, but wrong user name

Question

I'm trying to push from the command line to my fork of a repository, but I keep receiving the message

Your account mehtow is inactive because it's been a while since you logged in.

I don't understand. `mehtow` isn't even my Bitbucket login! I'm on macOS Mojave. I can push to Github without trouble.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Ana,

Thank you for your reply. I have no idea where the reference to the mehtow user came from. It's not mentioned in `.git/config` and I got the error message even if I specify my username explicitly on the command line. I resolved the issue by restarting ssh-agent and explicitly adding my ssh key.

Thanks again.

Cheers!

Hi Dominique, welcome to the Community :)

Can you double check you're pushing to the right repo? I can see that you've access to some repositories owned by mehtow, is there a possibility you're pushing to one of those by mistake?

If you're pushing to the right one and are still getting this issue, can you send a screenshot?

Cheers,

Ana
