SourceTree password after opening Bitbucket account with gmail

Question

I use my gmail account to create and log into my bitbucket account (similar to how I do with stack overflow). Now I am trying to access my repository through SourceTree. when it asks for password, I am not sure what to enter. When I enter my google credentials it fails.

Answer 1

When installing SourceTree, the install wizard prompts you for your username and password for BitBucket. This has nothing to do with your ssh keys as that comes later.

Username - please refer to Bitbucket.Manage Account.Change Username to find the correct username. This is not the same as your Google account or if the value matches then that is by coincidence.

Password - this is the password when you created your account. If you have forgotten then refer to Bitbucket.Manage Account.Change Password. You should then enter that in the install wizard.

Finally, the wizard will ask about ssh keys and it is at this point to need to provide your ssh password, assuming you have one.

Answer 2

You have to create a new app password for Sourcetree in the bitbucket settings
