Can't clone a repository using Sourcetree

I'm trying to setup Sourcetree from scratch. I created Sourcetree and Bitbucket accounts, created a new Bitbucket repository and tried to clone it. But 'checking source" newer ends and I see a popup "CredentialHelperSelector". What should I do with it?

Enter image description here

I tried following these steps:

  1. Menu Tools → Options → Git → Update Embedded Git. I made this
  2. I couldn't do the Latisha's answer part, because there isn't any Atlassian folder in my AppData\Local\ folder

Using Sourcetree 3.4.8 installed on a clean Windows 11 in a virtual machine, I get the credential helper selection dialog.

I found out that selecting "manager-core" from the list and checking always use was the solution. If the popup comes again, selecting the second option "manager-core" was definitive. I don't know why there are several options with the same name, but the second one was the solution.

Also since I was cloning a repository (with HTTPS) from Bitbucket, I also had to connect to my account in menu Tools → Options → Authentication → Add → select HTTPS and OAuth, and refresh OAuth token.

For Windows, you should select "manager-core", then enter your credentials (Bitbucket user account name and password).

Then your credentials would be cached and would not be asked again next time you open Sourcetree and try to push to your remote repository.
