I am trying to configure ssh for use with github on a new computer. I've attempted to follow the instructions listed in the tutorial on github to no avail. Here's a summary.
Using my M1 mac's (macOS 12.6) terminal console, I first check that I have created a public private key pair. The command ls -la ~/.ssh produces
drwxr-xr-x 6 <user> staff 192 Sep 16 21:26 .
drwxr-xr-x+ 34 <user> staff 1088 Sep 17 07:12 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 <user> staff 75 MMM DD HH:MM config
-rw------- 1 <user> staff 2655 MMM DD HH:MM id_rsa
-rw-r--r-- 1 <user> staff 571 MMM DD HH:MM id_rsa.pub
-rw-r--r-- 1 <user> staff 92 MMM DD HH:MM known_hosts
It appears I have a private key with owner read/write permissions. I then check the contents of the private key file with cat ~/id_rsa. The terminal prints
-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY--—-
random looking stuff
-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY--—-
Next I check the config file (just in case it's relevant) with cat ~/.ssh/config and I get
Host *
AddKeysToAgent yes
UseKeychain yes
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
Now I start the ssh-agent with eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" and I get Agent pid XXX. Great. I run ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa. The terminal asks for my private key passphrase, which I enter, and it finishes silently. Finally, to check that the operation was successful I run 'ssh-add -l, and the result says
The agent has no identities.
For good measure, I try adding the public key to my github account and I try connecting to git with ssh -vT git#github.com. I see a line saying
debug1: Server accepts key: /Users/<username>/.ssh/id_rsa
It asks me for my passphrase, which I enter, and it says
git#github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
Anyone have any ideas about what might be going on? Why isn't the ssh-add being successful? Thanks.

You have to diagnose the root cause for this issue. You can find this by reading logs related sshd using journalctl command on the system you want to login.
Reading logs :
journalctl -t sshd
If the log shows some thing similar to Authentication refused:
bad ownership or modes for directory, this is due to bad ownership or modes for directory /home/<your_user>/.ssh.
fixing permissions by
chmod go-w /home/<your_user>
chmod 700 /home/<your_user>/.ssh
chmod 600 /home/<your_user>/.ssh/authorized_keys
Also make sure that inside sshd configuration file /etc/ssh/sshd_config, make sure that PubkeyAuthentication is not commented and set yes.
Inside /etc/ssh/sshd_config make sure these is a line,
PubkeyAuthentication yes
It might needed to restart sshd service after edit in sshd configuration file.
sudo service sshd restart
This worked for me and hope this helps!.
If you have verified all your permissions are correct, but are still being prompted for a password, make sure to add the below line to the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the system you want to login to without a password. This will allow the SSH daemon to accept ssh-rsa key types
pubkeyacceptedkeytypes ssh-rsa
After doing this, simply run the command service sshd restart and passwordless login should work now
Configuring a new Digital Ocean droplet with SSH keys. When I run ssh-copy-id this is what I get:
ssh-copy-id user#012.345.67.89
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you are prompted now it is to install the new keys
sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation
user#012.345.67.89's password:
Number of key(s) added: 1
Now try logging into the machine, with: "ssh 'user#012.345.67.89'"
and check to make sure that only the key(s) you wanted were added.
However, when I then attempt to ssh in, this happens:
ssh user#012.345.67.89
sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation
user#012.345.67.89's password:
Upon entering the password, I am logged in just fine, but this of course defeats the purpose of creating the SSH key in the first place. I decided to take a look at the ssh-agent server-side and here's what I get:
user#012.345.67.89:~# eval `ssh-agent -s`
Agent pid 5715
user#012.345.67.89:~# ssh-add -l
The agent has no identities.
user/.ssh/authorized_keys does contain an ssh-rsa key entry, as well, but find -name "keynamehere" returns nothing.
Run ssh-add on the client machine, that will add the SSH key to the agent.
Confirm with ssh-add -l (again on the client) that it was indeed added.
After upgrading Fedora 26 to 28 I faced same issue.
And following logs were missing
/var/log/secure
/var/log/messages
ISSUE:
antop#localmachine ~ ssh root#ocp1.example.com

error message is not pointing actual issue. Issue resolved by
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/*
I was having the same problem in Linux Ubuntu 18. After the update from Ubuntu 17.10, every git command would show that message.
The way to solve it is to make sure that you have the correct permission on the id_rsa and id_rsa.pub.
Check the current chmod number by using stat --format '%a' <file>.
It should be 600 for id_rsa and 644 for id_rsa.pub.
To change the permission on the files use
chmod 600 id_rsa
chmod 644 id_rsa.pub
That solved my issue with the update.
Run the below command to resolve this issue.
It worked for me.
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
I once had a problem just like yours, and this is how I solved it through the following steps.
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/*
ssh-copy-id user#ip
ssh-agent -s
ssh-add
I had the error when using gpg-agent as my ssh-agent and using a gpg subkey as my ssh key https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#gpg-agent.
I suspect that the problem was caused by having an invalid pin entry tty for gpg caused by my sleep+lock command used in my sway config
bindsym $mod+Shift+l exec "sh -c 'gpg-connect-agent reloadagent /bye>/dev/null; systemctl suspend; swaylock'"
or just the sleep/suspend
Reset the pin entry tty to fix the problem
gpg-connect-agent updatestartuptty /bye > /dev/null
and the fix for my sway sleep+lock command:
bindsym $mod+Shift+l exec "sh -c 'gpg-connect-agent reloadagent /bye>/dev/null; systemctl suspend; swaylock; gpg-connect-agent updatestartuptty /bye > /dev/null'"
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
To first start the ssh agent
ssh-add
To then add the ssh key
To this error:
# git pull
sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation
git#github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

I solved like this:
# chmod 400 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
# ls ~/.ssh/id_rsa -ls

Thank you.
There could be various reason for getting the SSH error:
sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation
Some of them could be related to the issues highlighted by the other answers (see this thread answers), some of them could be hidden and thus would require a closer investigation.
In my case I've got the following error message:
sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation
user#website.domain.com: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic)
The only way to find the real problem was to invoke the -v verbose option which resulted in printing a lot of debugging info:
debug1: Connecting to website.domain.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] port 22.
debug1: Connection established.
debug1: identity file /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.website.domain.com type 0
debug1: key_load_public: No such file or directory
debug1: identity file /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.website.domain.com-cert type -1
Please note that the line saying key_load_public: No such file or directory is referring the next line and not the previous line.
So what SSH really says is that it could not find the public key file named id_rsa.website.domain.com-cert and that seemed to be the problem in my case since my public key file did not contain the -cert suffix.
Long story short: the fix in my case was just to make sure that the public key file was named as expected. I could never suspected that without debugging the connection.
The bottom line is USE THE SSH VERBOSE MODE (-v option) to figure out what is wrong, there could be various reasons, none that could be found on this/another thread.
First
ssh-add
then
ssh user#ip
this worked for me
Beware of how you name your ssh key files
If you have more than one key pair, you may be using ssh-keygen with the -f <key name> to name the output files. In my case, I was naming my keys like username#organization and username#organization.pub, which helps to keep multiple key pairs organized.
The problem is that the ssh agent doesn't like the # character.
In my case this was causing the sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation error, and was preventing the session keyring to interact with the ssh agent.
Renaming my key files to username_at_organization fixed the problem.
Yes. Run ssh-add on the client machine.
Then repeat command ssh-copy-id userserver#012.345.67.89
I got a sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation error as well. But in my case the problem was a wrong pinentry path.
In my ${HOME}/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf the pinentry-program property was pointing to an old pinentry path. Correcting the path there and restarting the gpg-agent fixed it for me.
I discovered it by following the logs with journalctl -f. There where log lines like the following containing the wrong path:
Jul 02 08:37:50 my-host gpg-agent[12677]: ssh sign request failed: No pinentry <GPG Agent>
Jul 02 08:37:57 my-host gpg-agent[12677]: can't connect to the PIN entry module '/usr/local/bin/pinentry': IPC connect call failed
In my case the problem was that GNOME keyring was holding an invalid passphrase for the ssh key to be used. After spending indecent amount of time troubleshooting this issue I ran seahorse and found the entry to hold empty string. I can only guess that it was caused by mistyping the passphrase at first use some time earlier, and then probably cancelling the requester or so in order to fall back to command line. Updating the entry with correct passphrase immediately solved the problem. Deleting that entry (from "login" keyring) and reentering passphrase at that first prompt (and checking the appropriate checkbox) solves this too. Now agent gets the correct passphrase from the unlocked at login keyring named "login" and neither asks for passphrase nor "refuses operation" anymore. Of course YMMV.
This should be rather a SuperUser question.
Right I have the exact same error inside MacOSX SourceTree, however, inside a iTerm2 terminal, things work just dandy.
However, the problem seemed to be that I've got two ssh-agents running ;(
The first being /usr/bin/ssh-agent (aka MacOSX's) and then also the HomeBrew installed /usr/local/bin/ssh-agent running.
Firing up a terminal from SourceTree, allowed me to see the differences in SSH_AUTH_SOCK, using lsof I found the two different ssh-agents and then I was able to load the keys (using ssh-add) into the system's default ssh-agent (ie. /usr/bin/ssh-agent), SourceTree was working again.
For me the problem was a wrong copy/paste of the public key into Gitlab. The copy generated an extra return. Make sure what you paste is a one-line key.
I need to share, as I spent too much time looking for a solution
Here was the solution : https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/351742/215375
I was using this command :
ssh-keygen -o -t rsa -b 4096 -C "email#example.com"
gnome-keyring does not support the generated key.
Removing the -o argument solved the problem.
What worked here : on the client
1) ssh-add
2) ssh-copy-id user#server
The keys has been created some time ago with plain "ssh-keygen -t rsa"
I sw the error message because I copied across my ssh public key from client to server (with ssh-id-copy) without running ssh-add first, since I erroneously assumed I'd added them some time earlier.
quick note for those recently upgrading to "modern" ssh version [OpenSSH_8.1p1, OpenSSL 1.1.1d FIPS 10 Sep 2019] - supplied with fedora 31, seems not to be anymore accepting old DSA SHA256 keys (mine are dated 2006!) - created a new rsa key, public added to authorized, private on client, and everything works perfectly.
thanks for previous suggestions, especially the ssh -v has been very useful
As others have mentioned, there can be multiple reasons for this error.
If you are using SSH with Smart Card (PIV), and adding the card to ssh-agent with
ssh-add -s /usr/lib64/pkcs11/opensc-pkcs11.so
you may get the error
sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation
from ssh if the PIV authentication has expired, or if you have removed and reinserted the PIV card.
In that case, if you try to do another ssh-add -s you will still get an error:
Could not add card "/usr/lib64/opensc-pkcs11.so": agent refused operation
According to RedHat Bug 1609055 - pkcs11 support in agent is clunky, you instead need to do
ssh-add -e /usr/lib64/opensc-pkcs11.so
ssh-add -s /usr/lib64/opensc-pkcs11.so
Another reason for this is OpenSSH v9.0's new default of NTRU primes + x25519 key exchange, in combination with gpg-agent (at least, as at v2.2.32).
To work-around, disable the new key exchange algortihm (and thus it's security benefit) thus:
ssh -o 'KexAlgorithm -sntrup761x25519-sha512#openssh.com' [...]
(or the same in SSH config.)
cf. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/701131/use-ntrux25519-key-exchange-with-gpg-agent
According to Github security blog RSA keys with SHA-1 are no longer accepted.
Use the following command to create new SSH key with ECDSAencryption and add it to Github.
ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 521 -C "your_email#example.com"
original answer with details can be found here
This could cause by 1Passsword not support ssh-rsa key exchange. They support newer rsa-sha-512 and rsa-sha-256 with security considerations.

Just to toss another cause into the ring...
My env was configured to use a Gemalto card...but I had an old keypair named id_rsa_gemalto_old(.pub) in my ~/.ssh/ and that -- having gemalto in the name -- was enough for git fetch to result in sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation.
(Ubuntu 18.04.6)
I have an encryption gateway connecting over sFTP to ~500 vendors, all working fine thru ssh-key based authentication. However for a particular host, it simply does not. It turned out to have a very unique behaviour. I have created a specific key for this particular vendor, but...
authorized_keys uploaded to destination box:
sftp> put vendorXX.id_rsa.pub ./.ssh/authorized_keys
Uploading vendorXX.id_rsa.pub to /.ssh/./authorized_keys
sftp> ls -l
drwxrwxrwx 2 user FTP_root 1024 Mar 31 01:04 .
drwxrwxrwx 7 user FTP_root 1024 Aug 25 2014 ..
-rw------- 1 user FTP_root 1680 Apr 1 02:54 authorized_keys
the pair sets matches to each other:
$ ssh-keygen -lf vendorXX.id_rsa
2048 e7:64:53:21:2d:12:62:bb:13:99:1b:c4:dc:24:78:09
$ ssh-keygen -lf vendorXX.id_rsa.pub
2048 e7:64:53:21:2d:12:62:bb:13:99:1b:c4:dc:24:78:09
Key is specified on ssh config for given host:
$ cat ~/.ssh/config | ggrep vendorxx –A2
Host ftp.vendorxx.com
PubkeyAuthentication yes
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/vendorXX
And bada bim bada boom… When I try to connect, it uses the key but still fire the password challenge:
$ sftp -v user#ftp.vendorxx.com 2>&1 | grep -i ident
debug1: identity file /home/gtwadmin/.ssh/vendorXX.id_rsa type 1
Password:
However, if I explicit specify the identity on sftp command, it goes on:
$ sftp -oIdentityFile=~/.ssh/vendorXX.id_rsa user#ftp.vendorxx.com
Connecting to ftp.vendorxx.com...

Any insight on this? My source box is Solaris 10 and Sun_SSH_1.1.6, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090704f.
I am trying to push my project onto my bitbucket, been messing with this for about 4 days pouring through countless problem solving/pages/troubleshooting/tutorials. Im at a loss and very frustrated. I have done this before but on different computers...anyway here is the code/response that I'm getting
~/dev/sample_app git push -u origin --all
The authenticity of host 'bitbucket.org (131.103.20.168)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 81:7b:2c:f5:6f:18:2b:7c:4b:ec:aa:46:46:74:7c:40.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
Host key verification failed.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
~/dev/sample_app
I am on a mac running 10.8.4.
So a little progress has been made, initially there was no .ssh folder so I created that way back in the beginning, there was no known_hosts file so I ran
ssh -T git#bitbucket.org
I chose yes and this created a known_hosts file and when I tried to push again I got:
~/dev/sample_app git push -u origin --all
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
My .ssh folder is 700 and the keys inside are all 600.
You can set IdentityFile flag file in ~/.ssh/config file as follows:
Host bitbucket.org
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
When you run
ssh git#bitbucket.org
the ssh client allows you to selects a file from which the identity (private key) for RSA or DSA authentication is read.
SSH Client To Use Given Private Key ( identity file )
You might be using ssh as the git origin url. Try removing the ssh origin like so
git remote rm origin
Then add new origin with HTTPS url and try pushing again.
git remote add origin https://git#bitbucket.org/SOMETHING/SOMETHING.git
git push -u origin master
Make sure you paste your url from bitbucket as origin.
In my case on fresh Ubuntu 16 machine I was missing files in ~/.ssh folder so what worked:
Go to folder ~/.ssh
Run ssh-keygen and name your file i.e. id_rsa
Run cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | xclip -sel clip
If you miss xclip just apt-get install xclip :)
Go to (in url change USERNAME to your bitbucket username:) ) https://bitbucket.org/account/user/USERNAME/ssh-keys/
Click Add key and paste the key from the clipboard
Magic - it works now :)
Edit: As Dan Swain points out in the comments, from 1 March 2022 this answer will have been superseded by authentication policy changes: https://bitbucket.org/blog/deprecating-atlassian-account-password-for-bitbucket-api-and-git-activity
The same applies to Github repositories as well, FWIW.
Thanks for the heads-up, Dan.
It might make sysadmins recoil in horror, but after suffering this problem (Windows) I gave up on SSH and went back to HTTPS.
When first adding the remote repository to Git, replace the SSH reference 'git#bitbucket.org...' with the HTTPS URL 'https://<username>#bitbucket.org'.
You have to type your password in every time but, particularly under Windows where SSH is not as commonly available as with the *nix family, I see this as a minor inconvenience compared with the headaches of SSH.
After setting up git with git config --global user.name "My Name" and
git config --global user.email myemail#x.com, I was still having trouble with the Permission Denied, (publickey) error. To solve this, I first generated a new ssh token with
ssh-keygen
and copied it with
pbcopy < ~/.ssh/YOUR_KEY
After that, I went to bitbucket.com to add it as a new SSH key in my settings. Then, I returned to my terminal to add the new key with
ssh-add ~/.ssh/YOUR_KEY.
The big problem that I was having was that I missed the critical ssh-add [key] command.
I had similar problem with BitBucket. in my case, it only fixed after I found out I should remove sudo from git clone command!
According to Attlassian:
You shouldn't use sudo when cloning, pushing, or pulling because the
ssh-agent runs on the user level, not the root level.
A more sustainable solution is to edit .bashrc (e.g. vi ~/.bashrc) and then add the following line to it (replace the key name):
KEY="$HOME/.ssh/YOUR_KEY"
if [ -e "${KEY}" ]; then
ssh-add -q "${KEY}"
fi
This will load the key automatically when you start the shell
If you're using Fedora 33+ and using the RSA algorithm. Use more secure alogrithm like ECDSA or ED25519 instead:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email#example.com"
Check out the bitbucket support for more details
Cause
The RSA algorithm is being quickly deprecated across operating systems and SSH clients because of various security vulnerabilities, with many of these technologies now outright denying the use of this algorithm.
(info) For example - here is the announcement from OpenSSH regarding
their upcoming deprecation of the ssh-rsa algorithm. In the event that
you are using an operating system or SSH client whose version has this
algorithm disabled, it's possible that any SSH keys previously
generated using this algorithm will no longer be accepted by these
technologies.
Resolution
To fully resolve this issue, our team recommends that these deprecated
keys be re-generated using a supported and more secure algorithm such
as ECDSA and ED25519
I faced same issues in Linux (Ubuntu).
I solved it using setup in git:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email your.email#example.com
Printing the public key using cat and SSH key to bitbucket.org:
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Adding Bitbucket and pushing up the repository:
git remote add origin git#bitbucket.org:<username>/your repository name.git
git push -u origin --all
That's all!
In my case, this issue happened because I had a number of ssh keys in the ~/.ssh. I had to create a bitbucket.org specific entry in ~/.ssh/config as follows:
Host bitbucket.org
Hostname bitbucket.org
IdentityFile <location-of-.ssh-directory>/bb-rsa
IdentitiesOnly=yes
My guess is that since we don't specify a key while cloning, ssh tries all the keys in ~/.ssh which bitbucket thinks as a hacking attempt and rejects our repo clone attempt.
In my case it solved the problem to add the ssh key from the directory
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
on bitbucket.org. I named it also id_rsa.pub on the website.
At the beginning I added another key I created just for bitbucket and named it like that. The first remote actions worked but after some days the request have been denied.
Check for exisiting SSH Key
ls -al ~/.ssh
Copy the SSH Key
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | pbcopy
Add the copied SSH Key to 'Bitbucket Settings', 'Security', 'SSH Keys'.
If you have multiple keys in your computer make sure you add bitbucket to the list such as below in
.ssh/config
# Company account
Host company
HostName github.com
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_accelya
# Personal account
Host personal
HostName github.com
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_personal
# Personal account bitbucket
Host bitbucket
HostName bitbucket.org
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_personal_bitbucket
This may be obvious, but I spent quite a bit of time on it.
Check the destination when running git remote -v
In my case I had the ssh keys perfectly set up but the output from this command was:
origin get#github.com:USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git
(notice the get not git)
and not
origin git#github.com:USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git
Again, this was a very particular case, but be sure to check the strings carefully of this system if you're having trouble.
You can fix this with the following commands:
git remote set-url origin git#github.com:USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git
Make sure your have switched to the correct user on terminal.
In my case root user was not the one which has ssh keys added at the bitbucket settings panel. Running git with sudo makes it run from root user and my own user was the one who has keys added.
In my case my issue was that I tried using the .ppk file the putty generated and no matter what I tried nothing worked.
In the end I figured that the it was the wrong file and I had to export it, save it as the id_rsa file and load it, then everything worked.
If any.ssh fix didn't work or you cloned as https there can be a validation issue. in my case, I fixed this error by providing my username and password when cloning the repo. This issue can occur when you are using multiple accounts in a same machine.
use "git clone https://username:password#github.com/username/repository.git" command with your user name and password and repo URL.
I like the Answers here, but they all kind of miss a possible root cause.
with the command:
ssh -T git#bitbucket.org
replace bitbucket.org with your own bitbucket host.
If you get an answer like:
This deploy key has read access to the following repositories:
team-name/repository-name
that is why pushing to the repository is not working.
This you can also double check in the Bitbucket Web UI, notice the read-only access in the description:
Hope this gives a different perspective to the same problem.
I update config file with the top line to get it working
PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa
Host <yourhost>
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
My Solution:
git remote rm origin
Add you user name before #bitbucket.org to the repo URL
git remote add origin https://{USER_NAME}#bitbucket.org/{NAME}/{REPO_NAME}.git
git push -u origin master
In Windows, #efesaid answer worked for solving issues with the ssh connection test. By the way, you can add a -v to see what keys (by name) are being attempted and why the connection fails.
However, when pushing to bitbucket, using git#bitbucket.org:user/repo.git, it seems that the host is not precisely bitbucket.org so I still was getting permission denied problems. I solved them by (re)naming my key to id_rsa (this is the key name that was being attempted in the ssh test).
This works if you have a single rsa key. For multiple keys, perhaps the host in the config file must be
bitbucket.org:username
but I am no sure this is unde
I think that the bitbucket instructions are best. Check if ssh is installed and if not install it

get this key and add it as key in the bitbucket settings
I got round a similar issue where I had previously used HTTPS to access the repository and had to switch to SSH by setting the url like so;
git remote set-url origin ssh://git#bitbucket.org/...
My problem was to do with permissions.
My project directory was owned by root, but I was logged in as ubuntu. I would get PERMISSION DENIED if I typed in a git command, e.g. git pull origin master, so I used sudo git pull origin master.
I had registered ubuntu's SSH key from /home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa.pub with BitBucket.
However, I was using sudo. So the SSH key used was actually /home/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub which was different to what BitBucket had.
Solution for my case
chown -R username_here:username_here project/folder/here
Now it should work if you don't prepend sudo
OR give BitBucket root's key
In source tree select your project right click then you find an option "Convert to SSH"-> Repair -> login this solved for me
If you are using SourceTree with Bitbucket, the solution is the next:
Go to your personal Bitbucket settings
Got to App passwords and create an app password
Give the next permissions to the app password:
Repositories (R-W-A-D)
Projects (R-W)
Pull request (R-W)
After that, keep the password generated
Try to clone again your repo
A password popup will be displayed, input the generated password.
That's all.
