Visual Studio Code remote: Invalid username or password fatal: Authentication failed

Question

I'm using Visual Studio code editor issue is it is not asking for password when i run git push origin branchname

remote: Invalid username or password
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://bitbucket.org/..../.....git/'

but it was working properly before.

I tried these commands also

git config --unset user.password

git config credential.helper ""

now when i try to push code it is giving me following errors :

fatal: credential-cache unavailable; no unix socket support
remote: Invalid username or password
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://bitbucket.org/..../.....git/'

but from command prompt i'm able to push code. Is there any way i can enable password dialog to appear when i push the code. Thanks

Answer 1

Make sure you have generated a BitBucket HTTP access token first.
And use that as password.

I would try, from command-line:

git config --global credential.helper manager-core

git ls-remote https://bitbucket.org/..../.....git
# enter your bitbucket username/token
# check it does return the remote branch names

# Then, again:
git ls-remote https://bitbucket.org/..../.....git
# check it does return the remote branch names /without/ asking for your credentials

Once the git ls-remote is working (meaning it does no longer ask for your credentials, which are now successfully cached), close and restart VSCode.
See if the issue persists then.

Try to set app password for bitbucket, you are trying to use account password as app password which is wrong as per bitbucket April update.

Go to bitbucket -> personal setting page -> app password -> create a app password

Now use this app password to push and pull the code from bitbucket !
