Should have added - if you've created 'BarryFSmith' account on bitbucket using some openid account [for ex: your google account] - then thats the authentication bitbucket will probably ask for - whenever it need to autheticate you. For ex: I created a regular account with a new passwd with bitbucket. userid: balay passwd: psswd So it will provide bitbucket.org/balay/repo to me. For authentication I just use the above userid/passwd. If you've crated an account 'BarryFSmith' using an openid - say bfsmith at google.com - with [google-passwd] - then it will provide bitbucket.org/barryfsmith/repo. But for authetication - it will always prompt you for the google-id and google-passwd Satish > > The model is: > > you have an 'account' - and can create repos there.
