Try create app password

body: Created App password . But still my credentials not working


author: Stepan Kravetskyi
body: Have you provide all permissions when created app password?


author: Dave S
body: These instructions on the blog post are trash BTW starting with 'Personal Settings' is not an option when you click on your avatar, under the settings under your Avatar there are no options to Create app password.  

If you are making drastic and required changes to something that has been the status quo for over a decade try and do better.

body: If you are following the blog post, navigate to bitbucket.org, this is not located under your Atlassian profile.  

Then from the git command line check that you are using your Atlassian user name:

git remote --view

If it's contains something like 'myemail@gmail.com' change it to 'myusername@bitbucket.org' using the same git remote command.  

Setup a new password per the blog post with what permissions who knows, no guidance given so I gave mine Repositories: Read and Write privilege's I don't know if it needs Admin.

Set the password with

git config user.password xxxxnewlygeneratedpasswordxxx
