This problem may happen after a major update of sourcetree.

Some workarounds that helped :

  • Verify that you don't have multiple Bitbucket accounts and remove the excessive ones.
  • Remove any default user names from the authentication tab, and always use urls in myusername@www.xxx.xxx format.
  • Wipe SourceTree Preferences and restore your bookmarks.
  • Change the password of your account.
  • Remove the map at C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree.
  • In SourceTree, navigate to Tools > Options > Git and switch to the system git version (if that is the latest).
  • Remove httpusepath = true from git config --global --edit.
  • If using two-factor authentication with GitHub you will need to Create a personal access token and use it with SourceTree.
