Still can't connect because of 'unable to get secret' error

[angelonikolaou]

Hello,

I already discussed my problem in a comment in a similar post, but no reply came, so I start a new post.

I can't use Sourcetree to connect to Bitbucket for a month now, even though I used it for two years without a problem.

When I click 'Refresh OAuth Token' I get a 'Confirm Access' page on my browser, then an 'Authentication successful' page. Then, I get the following error in Sourcetree

I have tried the following:

• Deleting all Sourcetree passwords from Windows Credential Manager
• Revoking OAuth authentication from my BitBucket account
• Reinstall Sourcetree
• Different browser
• Connecting with Basic authentication using a different account I have. Even though the password was correct, I still couldn't connect.
• Closed live protection from my antivirus (Malwarebytes Antimalware)

Any help provided would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Added more fix attempts

Hello, I have th esame problem. Did you find the solution?.

[angelonikolaou]

Nothing yet. I basically switched to a different tool.

[Steve Farmer]

Hi. I have this issue too. What too did you switch to?

[Angelo Nikolaou]

I managed to make bitbucket work by switching back to version 3.3.9. Haven't updated since. Try that

I had the same issue this morning. I now know what happened, so let's see if my case is helpful for you.

Here is what I had to do to solve this (following that order):

• Updated to the latest SourceTree version
• Validate that your TLS 1.2 is activated. On Windows 7, you will have to edit the registry with regedit (you can find easy steps on internet)
• You have to update your Embedded GIT as well. Go in Tools -> Options -> Git -> Press the button Update Embedded (at the bottom). You shouldn't see an SSL error here anymore.
• Once this is done, I went to the Authentication dialog pointed out here and I could successfully "Refresh OAuth Token". 

Simple remark: I updated my SourceTree from a really old version (1.x to 3.3.8). In previous version, TLS 1.2 wasn't mandatory. Also, I'm running on Windows 7 and TLS 1.2 isn't enabled by default. It may not fully be your case, but those steps could cover your problem as well.

Now it's working!

Finally!
