Visual Studio asks for credentials everytime a push is made
Platform Notice: Cloud Only - This article only applies to Atlassian products on the cloud platform.
Summary
Visual Studio asks for credentials (Atlassian login) each time a push is made.
Note
This is for Visual Studio and not Visual Studio Code
Diagnosis
Atlassian login credentials are not required for making a push to Bitbucket. Atlassian deprecated login passwords for app passwords. This happens due to an old version of a Bitbucket plugin on Visual Studio.
Solution
You can resolve this with a couple of entries in the git config entry -
1
2
git config --global --replace-all credential.interactive false
git config --global --replace-all credential.modalPrompt falseThese two entries will disable the Atlassian login prompt. You can also edit the global git config directly with this command and enter the text -
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
git config --global --edit
Enter the following in the text file -
[credential]
helper = manager
interactive = false
modalPrompt = falseUpdated on April 24, 2025
