Cannot push to Bitbucket via https anymore: git returns fatal error

Question

I recently reinstalled windows and got the latest version of git. I created a new repo on Bitbucket and ran

git remote add origin https://[email protected]/MYUSERNAME/test.git

then I ran

git push -u origin --all

however this gave me the error

fatal: could not read Password for 'https://[email protected]': No such
file or directory

before I would just get a prompt asking me for my username and password, and the push worked fine. I've tried reverting to Git 1.7.11 but this didn't do anything.

Answer 1

I solved this by adding my password in the url.

Instead of:

git remote add origin https://[email protected]/MYUSERNAME/test.git

I used:

git remote add origin https://MYUSERNAME:[email protected]/MYUSERNAME/test.git
