Hi, @ANTi7kZ , thanks for the feedback!

Sorry for being vague. When I try to log in with my email, I get the error as shown in the attached screenshot. I assume it is because I have a period in my email username before the '@' and domain.
Thanks.

Hi, @ANTi7kZ I've tried to locate this problem and it seems none of these inputs is for email.
Could you please provide the platform for your account? Is it BitBucket?
In the BitBucket case, username should be provided instead of email.

In the BitBucket case, **username** should be provided instead of email.
Yeah, it is BitBucket. Okay, I will try with just the username (which I thought was the email tbh). I'll update when I try this.
Thanks.

I just attempted (with my username == olatide.omojaro) and it resulted in a "Something bad happens: status 401" error.

I guess you might use password instead of app password. The app password is what we need, because storing your password at local may cause a security risk.

Yeah, definitely as App password would be the way to go. Just to cover all bases, I did try with my regular password and it didn't work either.
So, I decided to just change my username on BitBucket to do without the period, and I was able to add my account.
Thank you so much for your time and efforts. Cheers!
