You need to reset the password as shown below.

On macOS:

git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain

On Windows 10:

git config --global credential.helper store

After executing this, it prompts you for the user name and password for your repo.

This answer is for SO users who browse here after searching for the error     Terminal will not accept your Bitbucket or Atlassian web app password if your account is associated with an Atlassian  Jira  account  If this is your case  you have a giant string generated for you that you can find in your MacOSX keychain app  This is the password Terminal accepts  It is not clear how to re-generate this password or re-set it to match what Bitbucket will accept  Changing password in SourceTree s settings did not work for me  Changing password in Atlassian account profile did not work for me  Bitbucket does not have a link or interface to change password for this case in the Bitbucket account profile - user has to go to Atlassian account profile    In my case  nothing worked because I changed my username in Bitbucket    Atlassian and Bitbucket are not completely integrated  Bitbucket uses the Atlassian user email and web app password  but allows you to have a different username   There seems to be a bug in this process  especially since it s not clear which application or process is generating the authentication and where it s stored or editable  Changing the username breaks authentication    There may be a way to update the username used by the credentials and Bitbucket  but I was already several hours behind when I discovered that changing my username back to what it was before restored authentication

You can update your Bitbucket credentials from the OSX Keychain   Updating your cached credentials via the command line     git credential-osxkeychain erase host bitbucket org protocol https  press return    If it s successful  nothing will print out  To test that it works  try and clone a repository from Bitbucket  If you are prompted for a password  the keychain entry was deleted
