Hi Nancy! Can you elaborate your description a bit more so we can help you with this? Please let us know:

• Are you getting this error when connecting directly to Bitbucket, or when trying to connect to Bitbucket from SourceTree?
• Are you using Bitbucket Server or Cloud? If Server, which version?
• What version of SourceTree and OS are you using?
• What are the steps you're performing when you get this error? Can you send a screenshot?

Best regards!

I've figured it out. Bitbucket.org won't take a user name any longer. Now it wants an email address. Ok, did that. However, when I try to login through sourcetree it seems to want to use my username. I kept trying to put my email address in there like bitbucket.org insists on.  So the issue is solved for me, but this is weirdly inconsistent and confusing.

• Are you getting this error when connecting directly to Bitbucket, or when trying to connect to Bitbucket from SourceTree? 
  
  • When trying to connect to my remote repository on Bitbucket.
• Are you using Bitbucket Server or Cloud? If Server, which version?
  • I'm using bitbucket.org.
• What version of SourceTree and OS are you using?
  • 2.1.2.5 Windows 7
• What are the steps you're performing when you get this error? Can you send a screenshot?

Hi,

I have the same issue. Have tried username and email already, but no success, get the same error regardless of the login name variant.

I use Sourcetree 3.3.7 on Windows 10. Have an SSH key and use Basic authentication method. And I use Bitbucked Cloud.

@Pavel  Did you get a solution to this as one of my 2 computers has started having the same error?

I am getting the same problem and an a more meanigful error message and how to resolve the sitution would assist. I've tried all combinations of username and email, HTTP and SSH and tried logging out and it again as per the previous post without no success.

I am trying to set up a App password using the instructions on this page https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/app-passwords/

When try to complete the step: Enter the app password you just created as your Password. If you're on Windows, you'll need hit Refresh Password first.

I do so and I get this error:

• Are you getting this error when connecting directly to Bitbucket, or when trying to connect to Bitbucket from SourceTree?
  • Connect to BB from SourceTree (latest version 3.3.8)

• What version of SourceTree and OS are you using?
  • SourceTree version 3.3.8 on Windows 10 OS 64-bit

Any assistance appreciated.

@Ana Retamal Can you provide an official solution to this error message Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: T.Path '', line 0, position 0.?

• Are you getting this error when connecting directly to Bitbucket, or when trying to connect to Bitbucket from SourceTree?
  • Connect to BB from SourceTree (latest version 3.3.4)
• Are you using Bitbucket Server or Cloud? If Server, which version?
  • BB Cloud
• What version of SourceTree and OS are you using?
  • SourceTree version 3.3.4 on Windows 10 OS 64-bit
• What are the steps you're performing when you get this error? Can you send a screenshot?
  • See SSH settings below, I notice if I logout from BB Cloud and refresh the OAuth token in SourceTree which prompts me to re-authenticate in BB Cloud along with 2FA code and I try again to authenticate using Basic, then using username or email works as shown below.
