I've enabled two factor authentication for my bitbucket account. Now Atlassian Sourcetree app on Osx doesn't works, it is unable to login on bitbucket.

How i can configure SourceTree to use bitbucket two factor auth?

Skip the initial login and from bitbucket.org, click the down arrow next to the repo name (to the left of the ssh/https link) and click 'clone to source tree' and it will work fine assuming you have your ssh keys setup already.

This worked fine for me when I just installed it and ran into the same issue of not allowing me to login initially.

-- update June 2016 --

Bitbucket now allows you to add an app password for specific apps like source tree. It is found under bitbucket settings > access management > app passwords. Once I created one and added the password to my source tree settings then I was able to successfully connect and reconnect to bitbucket to push and pull updates and create new repos.
