In the Sourcetree Tools/Options/Authentication tab it is possible add a Sourcetree account for Bitbucket. During installation you are asked for your bitbucket credentials, and you are taken to the atlassian website, this worked. C:UsersYOURUSERNAMEAppDataLocalAtlassianSourceTree (Maybe you make a backup first) - Install sourcetree again.

When Sourcetree acts on a repository it asks git to do all the work and git will retrieve any suitable credentials from the Windows Credential Manager, so Sourcetree effectively can pull/fetch/push etc without prompting for additional credentials. I did these steps: - uninstall sourcetree. If these credentials are valid it will store them in the Windows Credential Manager, prefixed with 'git:' The app shows 'authentication OK', yet when I try to interact with my repo Im seeing a 'SSL certificate problem: unable to get local.

Ive followed the information on how to create a temp application password, and have added this to the authentication details in Sourcetrees options.

Ignoring Sourcetree for a second if you know the remote HTTPS URL to a private Bitbucket repository and try to clone it via the git command line, git will prompt you for a username/password. This change appears to have broken my Sourcetree install. Sourcetree effectively deals with 2 types of credentials, git/hg ones and REST ones, although they contain the same information.
