How do I do a git clone of my files in Bitbucket

[rhouse2015]

I have not used Bitbucket for some years. I am now trying to fetch source code stored in Bitbucket via git clone and my credentiials are not accepted.

At https://bitbucket.org/workspace-id/repo/src/master/ I can see all the files I would like to download, but this command

git clone https://bitbucket.org/workspace-id/repo.git

results in "Authentication failed" when I use the user name and password that I always used in the past. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really need to access these files.

Hi @rhouse2015 !

The use of the Atlassian account password for cloning, and interacting with a local repo over https was deprecated as shown in this Community question.

You can set up an app password and connect over https with that and your Bitbucket username.  https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bitbucket-questions/Authentication-Failed-cant-access-own-bitbucket-repo-due-to-quot/qaq-p/2427770
