Cannot login from git

Question

Hello,

I have a local repository and have added bitbucket as a remote. When I enter the command

git push -u bitbucket master

(I have called the remote "bitbucket" instead of the default "origin") into the command line, a window called "Bitbucket Login" pops up asking for my username and password. When I enter the username and password and click on Log in, the window dissapears and the message

"Logon failed, use ctrl+c to cancel basic credential prompt.

Password for 'https://<username>@bitbucket.org': "

appears in the command line. But then I cannot type anything, the only thing which works is ctrl+c for cancel.

I have tried it now several times, with the Terminal embedded into Android Studio and also with Windows PowerShell, always with the same result.

Does someone knows how to solve this problem?

Best regards.

Hi,

thanks for your answer. I have now solved the problem, I can write my password in the command line, but it is not displayed, so it seemed that I can type anything. This works now.

Best regards,

Stephan

Hi Stephan,

Have you followed the steps at Getting started with Bitbucket? You can try logging into Bitbucket from your browser to double check this.

Are you using any credential manager? If you're using the Git credential manager for Windows you can follow the tips on this thread.

Let us know if that helped!

Cheers,

Ana
