Bitbucket repository started returning "remote: Too many invalid password attempts. Try logging in through the website." (403) since yesterday
Since yesterday, bitbucket repository started returning this on any request:
remote: Too many invalid password attempts. Try logging in through the website.
fatal: unable to access 'https://[email protected]/xxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403
This happens on both the server (trying to git pull) and client (SourceTree on mac).
The user employed on both sides is the same, I can login to bitbucket and see no problems. Both SourceTree and git on the server use different "App Password" generated in bitbucket. I am the only person using this account daily.
I created a new App Password and tried with it just to get the same error.
What can I do to solve the case?
Update #1: Generating a new App Password does not work for both server and client. Re-adding a SourceTree account with Basic authentication does not help too. Bitbucket even does not allow to come to authentication, as it seems - the new App Passwords "Last Access" snows nothing.
Update #2: The accepted answer is indeed a solution. This is quite strange, but resetting the password of the main bitbucket user account works. But the sequence is as follows: reset bitbucket user password; create a new app password for both server and client (SourceTree); for mac, remove the record for bitbucket in KeyChain Access; only try to pull or push from SourceTree after removing the record or the account is locked immediately!
Answer
The reason for getting the above error is due to Atlassion account lock & not related with App passwords.
So I have reset my Atlassian account(as per Atlassian's servicedesk suggession ) using below url
So now git fetch is working fine.
If you forgot your current password you can reset password by below url

Hope this help :)
