Please help me with an example

App password is used for authentication with remote Bitbucket repositories !!

Here's a similar question

No, my question is specific with Yocto build systems. the above link is not related to my query.

for e.g: "git clone https://username:password@bitbucket.org/dir/repo.git", command works, wherein password = "an alphanumeric string created by bitbucket"

if I use the same string in the "SRC_URI" field in the Yocto recipe, I get an error for the password field.

for e.g :"SRC_URI = "git://username:password@bitbucket.org/dir/repo.git;branch=somename;protocol=https;"

Error: "fatal: could not read password for 'https://username@bitbucket.org': No such device or address"

Please advise how to use the bitbucket app password in the SRC_URI field of the Yocto recipe.

Instead of your account password, its

e.g :"SRC_URI = "git://username:app-password@bitbucket.org/workspace/repo.git;branch=somename;protocol=https;"

Clone URL is available in your Bitbucket repo and App paasword can be created in your personal settings page

The "password" I was referring to in my reply refers to "app-password", which does not work with Yocto recipe.
