Problem
Lost authentication from BitBucket resulting in invalid credentials. Pushing to BitBucket and received this response:
remote: Invalid credentials
fatal: Authentication failed for **repo**
Solution
Go to https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/app-passwords/ and create a new app password
Tick all the permissions required, copy the password
In terminal:
On an already-cloned project:
git remote set-url origin https://bitbucket-username:app-password@bitbucket.org/repo-name.git
To clone a new project:
git clone https://bitbucket-username:app-password@bitbucket.org/repo-name.git
Why is it happening?
Beginning March 1, 2022, you will no longer be able to use your Atlassian account password when using Basic authentication with the Bitbucket Cloud REST API or Git over HTTPS.
