SourceTree: Keeps asking for a password to bitbucket.org

Question

Can't connect to bitbucket.org from SourceTree. Keeps asking for password. Worked fine yesterday with the same project. Works from git command line

Do you sure you entered the right password? – Zigii Wong Dec 01 '15 at 10:18 — Zigii Wong, Dec 01 '15 at 10:18

Can confirm, just downgraded to 1.6.23 and it's now authenticating correctly. – unenthusiasticuser Dec 01 '15 at 12:34

I had a similar thing after an update; I tried re-adding my bitbucket credentials, changing the protocols, etc. with no luck, until...

I opened my keychain and searched for bitbucket under the Passwords category.
I found that I had multiple Access Keys for my user, so I closed my repository, deleted all the keys of "application password" Kind, opened the SourceTree preferences > Accounts > removed my account and re-added it (login as usual - I used Basic with HTTPS).
Keychain asks for permission to save the password, which I said yes and now I only see one key of the kind "application password".

I opened my repository from the repo browser and hey presto, no more password popups!

This bugged me for a whole week! If this helped you, you can do a little dance with me now :)

Simply removing all the "application password" types fixed this for me. — Jonathon, Jul 15 '22 at 19:57
