When I try to do a git push -u origin master to my repository to upload local data to remote, it asks me for a password that I cannot validate, the one I registered does not work. How can I solve that? Thank you so much.
G'day!
Thank you for contacting Bitbucket Cloud Support.
The most common issue customers are experiencing related to authentication is due to the deprecation of GIT username/password in favour of App Passwords on 01/03/2022:

You will need to make use of an App Password for communicating to GIT via HTTPS.
We have documentation for usage of app passwords at the following link:
Essentially, when connecting via HTTPS you will use your App Password alongside your username seperated with a ":" character.
Therefore if you are authenticating to GIT over HTTPS to push/pull you will need to update your remote URL's to include the App Password:
git remote set-url origin https://USERNAME:APP_PASSWORD@bitbucket.org/workspaceID/reposlug.git
The same applies when performing git clone:
git clone https://USERNAME:APP_PASSWORD@bitbucket.org/workspaceID/reposlug.git
I would suggest ensuring also that all stored passwords related to authentication over GIT are cleared from your machine (ie Credential Manager for Windows, Access Keychain for Mac or /etc/shadow folder for Linux).
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
