git ssh push with two factor auth

[pcrooker]

Hi,

I setup 2FA on my account, now I can't push changes via git CLI using ssh, even though I have a ssh key setup in bitbucket. The error:

git@bitbucket.org: Permission denied (publickey)

The help page I found:

https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/configure-ssh-and-two-step-verification/

mentions a 3rd party program but implied  that wasn't necessary if using an ssh key. What am I missing?

thanks, Phil

Hi @pcrooker 

That error message implies that your public SSH key configured locally does not match the public SSH key configured in your Personal Settings - it does not relate to 2FA.

I would suggest printing the public SSH key's stored in ~/.ssh/ and comparing them to the SSH key you've configured in Personal Settings > SSH Keys:

• cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

If you still encounter issues, please let us know your timezone so we can raise a support ticket on your behalf - as we'll need to see verbose logs (which wouldn't be appropriate to share in a public forum such as community).

Cheers!

You're right. I've put in a new key and voila. I appear to have two accounts w the same name (I'll try to sort this out...), one in bitbucket and one in atlassian.com, so I had logged in the old bitbucket account which has an old ssl key. Thanks for the help.
