None of the above worked for me - the problem lay in my Sourcetree Preferences   In the Network tab  I had a setting there for  Default usernames for URLs which do not include one     The username was incorrect where I had entered it incorrectly previously - I had set it to my email rather than username   I highlighted the entries and clicked Remove for both  Then I returned to my repository page and clicked Push again   On pushing  it asked me for full username and password  which I was able to enter correctly - the push then finally worked

If you got authentication issues with the GIT console  you can try to switch your configuration to HTTPS and specify user  amp  password with the following command    https    lt username gt   lt password gt  bitbucket org  lt username gt   lt repo gt  git  BUT CAREFUL  Coming back to this answer that I made a very long time ago  I want to give credits to  ChristopherPickslay for pointing out that the password is stored as clear text in the  git config file  If you want to roll with HTTPS  you can securely store your password with Git credential manager But personnally  I now always use SSH authentification  as it seems to be a better practice  because you use a personal pair of public private keys that will prevent your password to be stored outside  Apart from the fact you can put a passphrase on your key  and then you also need to store the password on a credential manager or ssh-agent

After fighting with this for a long time  it looks like I found something that seems to work  I was optimizing the urls to not include the username  keep it as generic as possible   but the authentication dialog kept popping up     I tried everything that came into mind  such as    Enable and disable MFA  Multi Factor Authentication  Create app passwords  again  with and without MFA enabled    No matter what tools I used  including SourceTree   nothing worked  The server kept returning   Create an app password   Basically you must   Use the url including the username  e g  https   myusername bitbucket org      Use an app password created in bitbucket   Would be so nice if the server would have returned this in the response instead of suggesting to use an app password

I recently had a similar issue with SourceTree  any time I tried to push pull fetch to from the remote origin I would get an authentication error  using SourceTree with Stash   Sometimes I would be challenge in Stash with a CAPTCHA but it never made a difference if I provided the correct information or not   For me  we re using SourceTree and Stash in a corporate environment  user accounts are based on network credentials  Part of our network security requires us to change those passwords on a regular basis   I was operating under the assumption that SourceTree Stash was  aware  of any change made to my network password  But apparently -- at least in this instance -- it was not   To fix  all I needed to do was   Tools   Options   Authentication   Edit  Edit Password   I set the password to match my current network password and everything began working as expected   Not sure if this helps the OP but I hope it may help someone else looking for answers to a similar issue
