How to access bitbucket using app password

Bitbucket

Bitbucket Problem Overview


I have created an app password as explained here

But now, how do I access the repository using this app password?
What will be the url?
Can someone direct me to a page showing an example please?

The below is a code for github. How do I do it for bitbucket?

var githubToken = "[token]";
var url = "https://github.com/[username]/[repository]/archive/[sha1|tag].zip";
var path = @"[local path]";


using (var client = new System.Net.Http.HttpClient())
{
    var credentials = string.Format(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "{0}:", githubToken);
    credentials = Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(credentials));
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", credentials);
    var contents = client.GetByteArrayAsync(url).Result;
    System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(path, contents);
}

Update

Go to Personal Settings and then App Passwords as shown below.

Create Bitbucket App Password

Bitbucket Solutions


Solution 1 - Bitbucket

Since the question was "how do I access the repository" - maybe this is useful for somebody:
You can also use a Bitbucket "App Password" to use Git over HTTPS.

git clone https://USERNAME:[email protected]/OWNER/REPO.git

(Or, if you want to avoid storing the password in plaintext:
Omit :APP_PASSWORD in the URL above, and just provide the App Password when prompted by Git.)

This may be useful for CI (although Git over SSH might be better).

Solution 2 - Bitbucket

You can perform this requsest as follows:

curl -u "walery2iq:<appPassword>" "https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/[yourRepo]"

Important thing here - use your username, not e-mail address. Important because for login on bitbucket itself you are using e-mail and not username :D

You can find your username here:

> Settings -> Account settings -> Username

See picture.

Use this username - not your mail address

Solution 3 - Bitbucket

You need to create your "app password" on bitbucket console. Under your Avatar ->Personal Settings ->Access Management ->App Password. Create app password and note it down.

Once done, open your git bash and set the remote origin using -

git remote set-url origin https://<Your_Account_Name>:<App_Password>@bitbucket.org/<Your_Account_Name>/<Repo_Name>.git

Solution 4 - Bitbucket

If you have a 2-step verification I was able to clone but not to make a push. This worked for me using git instead of curl:

git push https://<username>:<GENERATED-APP-PASS>@bitbucket.org/<username>/<repo>.git

Generate an app password at https://bitbucket.org/account/admin/app-passwords

Solution 5 - Bitbucket

git remote set-url origin https://[app-label]:[app-password]@bitbucket.org/[your-repo].git

Solution 6 - Bitbucket

Git uses libcurl under the hood so one might keep password in ~/.netrc file:

machine bitbucket.org login USER password PAZZ

and avoid leaking password to shell history:

git clone https://$USER@bitbucket.org/$WORKSPACE/$REPO.git

Solution 7 - Bitbucket

This worked for me, check use credential helper from git settings. That is, preferences-> version control-> To git -> use credential helper
