Unable to clone Git repository, remote: Forbidden

[Gaaf Geel]

Cloning for my first repo with HTTPS gives me this error:

$ git clone https://{username}@bitbucket.org/{username}/test.git
Cloning into 'test'...
remote: Forbidden
fatal: unable to access 'https://{username}@Bitbucket.org/{username}/test.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

When trying to clone via SSH it looks if it works, but then I need to type the password everytime, I thought that with SSH it is not needed every time?

Help needed for a BitBucket newbee ;-)

Thnx,

Maurice

Well it looks like I made the stupid "mistake" of typing a pasphrase during the creation of my SSH key on my computer. This was not necessary!

Answering my own question is for when other people make the same "error" ;-)

Thanks but how do you solve it then ? remove passphrase ?

[Gaaf Geel]

I made a new key without it.

Me also having this silly problem. When trying to clone with https it is returning me

remote: You'll need to authenticate with a valid app password. You can create an app password from your account at https://bitbucket.org/account/admin/app-passwords

fatal: unable to access 'https://bitbucket.org/<reponame>': The requested URL returned error: 403

But with ssh it is ok.
What's wrong, still i could not get it!

You have to create app password according to the bitbucket from march, 2022. I will share the links for it. https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/create-an-app-password/. After creating the app password, make sure to keep copy the password it generates. when you clone, or make pull request, you have to use that password for one time
