Visual studio 2017 with bitbucket, terminal prompts disabled

I just experienced it this instant. so what i did is i tried to login to bitbucket, surpisingly it says "I cant login to using username please use email". then i did login using my email,then dig my bitbucket settings and found out that i can generate a password..

  1. Goto settings
  2. App password
  3. Create app password
  4. use the password to login instead of your real password

enter image description here


I have added my password to remote URL. (Team Explorer > Repository Settings > Remotes) https://username:[email protected]/username/myproject.git. After that my problem has solved.


I had the same issue, I found an answer that worked for me here: https://github.com/github/VisualStudio/issues/949

Below are the steps mentioned to fix: It seems that the bundled Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows/ in VIsual Studio 2017 is not the latest release. Downloading the latest release and putting it on top of the files in Visual Studio 2017 worked for me.

  1. download the zip file gcmw-v1.17.0.zip from https://github.com/Microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows/releases/tag/v1.17.0
  2. navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer\Git\mingw32\libexec\ (or wherever your 'missing' git-askpass.exe resides).
  3. make a copy of the git-core folder and rename it backup or something like that
  4. put the files from the zip file on top of the contents of your new git-core folder and overwrite where prompted
