Bitbucket authentication is failing

gitkeychain

I keep my code in bitbucket. Without warning git pull just hangs and after a long wait says to check

  1. Deleting all my keychain entries for bitbucket.org and relogging in manually didn't help anything.
  2. Following the instructions for caching credentials didn't help either.

I can't find a git command for checking status of my authentication.
My login for bitbucket website works fine.

I'm on mac osx 10.11.5. El Capitan.

Use git config credential.https://example.com.username myusername to update your credentials in Git and see if that helps. This is Git's documented way to avoid repeatedly being asked for your username and password.
