Hi Brittany, and welcome to the community!

The error indicates that the credentials used by the push command are incorrect.

If you use username and password for authentication, please keep in mind that the account's password cannot be used for Git operations. You will need to use an app password instead:

The username should be the one listed here: https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/

If you are not asked for credentials when you push, then a credential manager may be configured for Git and incorrect credentials may be stored there. In this case, you will need to clear any saved credentials for bitbucket.org from the credential manager and try the operation again.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Theodora
