Bitbucket Cloud recently stopped supporting account passwords for Git authentication
Starting from March 1, 2022, Bitbucket Cloud users will no longer be able to use their account passwords when using Basic authentication for Git over HTTPS and the Bitbucket Cloud REST API. If you try to use an account password for Git operations, you will get an error remote: Bitbucket Cloud recently stopped supporting account passwords for Git authentication. The Github also had moved away from Account password to Personal Access token last year and now it’s Bitbucket turn.
So, In this article, we are going to learn how to solve this problem.
- Go to the bitbucket.org website and log in with your account credentials.
- From your avatar in the bottom left, click Personal settings.
- Click App passwords under Access management
- Click Create App password
- Give the app password sufficient rights and a label related to the application that will use the password
- Don’t forget to save that password
- Now to use this on your previous repository do this:
git remote set-url origin
https://<your_bitbucket_username>:<your_app_password>@bitbucket.org/<repository_name>.git
- For the new repository use this:
git clone https://<your_bitbucket_username>:<your_app_password>@bitbucket.org/<repo_name>.git
