Problem with git push and entering password

I've just setup an account on bitbucket and trying to import my repository for the first time.

I type this command:

git push -u origin --all

Then I am prompted for my password. When I hit enter a new line is inserted and nothing happens. I can also see my password on the screen. For example if my password was "mypassword" this is what it would look like after I run the command, hit enter, enter password and hit enter:

enter image description here

Thanks in advance!

ooh, this post is pretty old but,

when setting the remote repository try to use: 

git remote set-url origin https://[email protected]/username/repo.git

instead of:

git remote add origin https://[email protected]/username/repo.git

It worked for me.

If you, like me, have problems using ssh authentication on bitbucket; this is how I fixed it. Bitbucket desires it's own separate ssh key for each individual user from what I can gather from the documentation.

Use your default method to make a new ssh key specifically for bitbucket (we'll call the ssh key 'id_pub_my_user_name.pub') and place something similar the following in ~/.ssh/config:

# bitbucket user - my_user_name
Host bitbucket.org
  HostName bitbucket.org
  User my_user_name
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_my_user_name

If you now type in a terminal:

ssh -T [email protected]

It will now show you as authenticated, and you can happily go on from there.

If you are trying to get code from an existing bitbucket repo then you need to run this command:

git clone https://<your-user-name>@bitbucket.org/<your-user-name>/<project-name>.git

But if you are trying to push code to your bitbucket a/c from your local git repo, then see here for further help: Importing code from an existing project

Look to the section that says "Import an existing, unversioned code project to an empty repository".
