Bitbucket Git Push Error

Question

After I changed password for my bitbucket account, I can't seem to push anything to the repository. I can pull, add, commit but not push.

I used to clone using https and whenever I push, it would say

Remote: unauthorized Fatal: Authentication failed for url.

I search for this on google and stack overflow for 2 days, none of the solution worked.

So I decided to try SSH. I follow instruction to generate an SSH-Key and add it to bitbucket.
However as soon as I push it gave me:

repository access denied.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists."

Any idea on what to do?

Please show us the public key you've submitted to bitbucket (screenshot preferred), your local `id_rsa.pub` (not `id_rsa`!) from `~/.ssh`. These are both public keys. — mszymborski, Aug 17 '18 at 20:49
When you added the SSH key to Bitbucket, did you also update the remote URL from HTTPS to SSH? — Jim Redmond, Aug 20 '18 at 20:37
@JimRedmond Yes, I did change it to SSH. My remote is git@bitbucket.org:path/projectname. — Park Lee, Aug 21 '18 at 13:16

Regarding https, double-check if you have a credential helper which would have cached your credentials:

git config credential.helper

As explained in "How to sign out in Git Bash console in Windows?", this would remove the credentials:

git credential-manager delete https://bitbucket.org

Regarding ssh, double-check your key is proposed with:

set GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -v"
git push

I am at Mac and tried the equivalent of it and it didn't work. – Park Lee Aug 21 '18 at 13:20
@ParkLee OK, but did `git config credential.helper` returned anything? – VonC Aug 21 '18 at 15:36
It returned osxkeychain – Park Lee Aug 21 '18 at 18:13
@ParkLee Then removing the credentials as in https://help.github.com/articles/updating-credentials-from-the-osx-keychain/ will help, but only if your remote URL (git remote -v) is an https one, not an ssh one. – VonC Aug 21 '18 at 18:31

I'm going to take a wild guess: you're on macOS version 10.12 or later, right?

Apple changed the behavior of ssh-agent as of Sierra so that it no longer adds keys automatically. You can change this in one of several ways:

Add ssh-add -A to your .rc file (usually .bashrc, sometimes something else). This will add identities from your keychain to the ssh-agent. (You can add identities to the keychain with ssh-add -K.)
Update ~/.ssh/config to include something like this:

Host bitbucket.org IdentityFile /path/to/private/key AddKeysToAgent yes

(The SSH config file is a powerful tool, but different systems may have different options. Read man ssh_config to see which options you have available on a given system.)
