Error "fatal: Authentication failed"

#1

I am trying to connect to my Bitbucket git for the first time. I get the following error message:

2025-03-27 09:23:21.035 sublime_merge[17628:10653852] +[IMKClient subclass]: chose IMKClient_Modern
2025-03-27 09:23:21.035 sublime_merge[17628:10653852] +[IMKInputSession subclass]: chose IMKInputSession_Modern
remote: Invalid credentials
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://patrickholzer@bitbucket.org/patrickholzer/shopify.git/'

I have entered the correct username and password credentials.
I have a two-step-authentication with Bitbucket, but Sublime Merge never asked me for the second step (the six digit number that keeps changing).

Can you help me connect? Thank you in advance.

Bitbucket has discontinued password authentication since 2022: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Bitbucket-articles/Announcement-Bitbucket-Cloud-account-password-usage-for-Git-over/ba-p/1948231

Thank you for your reply!

Do you know how, in that case, I will get Sublime Merge to work? Because it keeps asking for the Password and I don’t find anything in the user’s manual.

I’d assume you have to change your repo remote URL to (or clone it again using with) smth like git@bitbucket.org:patrickholzer/shopify.git and save your public SSH key in your user settings on bitbucket.

See bitbucket’s documentation: https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/log-into-or-connect-to-bitbucket-cloud/#Personal-SSH-keys
