SourceTree: Keeps asking for a password to bitbucket.org

Can't connect to bitbucket.org from SourceTree. Keeps asking for password. Worked fine yesterday with the same project. Works from git command line

I had a similar thing after an update; I tried re-adding my bitbucket credentials, changing the protocols, etc. with no luck, until...

  1. I opened my keychain and searched for bitbucket under the Passwords category.

  2. I found that I had multiple Access Keys for my user, so I closed my repository, deleted all the keys of "application password" Kind, opened the SourceTree preferences > Accounts > removed my account and re-added it (login as usual - I used Basic with HTTPS).

  3. Keychain asks for permission to save the password, which I said yes and now I only see one key of the kind "application password".

I opened my repository from the repo browser and hey presto, no more password popups!

This bugged me for a whole week! If this helped you, you can do a little dance with me now :)
