How to solve Authentication and Pull Request Problem

[rishvanthi]

I am using SourceTree Version 3.4.7,created an Apppassword from the Bitbucket account linked.When Tried to Authenticate using Tools->Option->Authentication

 1.When oAuth is selected as Authentication type,the application is not responding and after a while showing Authentication Failed Message "Unable to get secret.Error reading JObject from JsonReader.Path'',line 0,position 0"

2. When Basic is selected as Authentication type,Given the account name and the apppasword generated from BitBucket,Authentication is Success.But when pull action is performed in any repository the popup is asking for password for 3-4 times and displaying error message

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false --no-optional-locks fetch --no-tags origin

G'day Rishvanthi!

The reason you are receiving the App Password error message is because it is prompting you for basic auth credentials due to the way that your git remote URL is configured.

We have a blog post however which explains the steps to troubleshoot this issue specifically in SourceTree, please follow these accordingly and this should resolve the issue:

Please let me know how this goes.

Cheers!
