Hi @Kirtee Yelmate and welcome to the community!

When you log in to Bitbucket Cloud website from browser you need to use your Atlassian account's email and password.

These credentials will not work if you try to authenticate from a client application that might make API calls or clone, pull, push to your repos via HTTPS. For these types of operations, you need to use:

• your Bitbucket username, which can be found here https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/
• an app password for your account, which can be generated from here https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/app-passwords/

Please see the announcement here about the deprecation of account password usage for Git over HTTPS and API:

• https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bitbucket-articles/Announcement-Bitbucket-Cloud-account-password-usage-for-Git-over/ba-p/1948231

The necessary permissions for the app password depend on what exactly the application is doing. If the credentials are used for clone, pull, or push, then Repositories - Read and Repositories - Write permissions should be enough. If it needs to read your account info, then Account - Read permissions may be required as well.

Kind regards,
Theodora

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

This suggests that you are using the wrong credentials in VS.  What is the detail of the error VS gives you?
