Bitbucket user consent shown as Sourcetree

Open MrWhiteABEX opened this issue 6 months ago • 0 comments

When logging in into a Bitbucket Cloud account for the first time OAuth consent is requested for "Sourcetree for Windows". This is counterintuitive for users using for example Git For Windows as they are clearly not using Atlassian Sourcetree. Likewise you have to remember that if you want to revoke app authorization on Bitbucket cloud for your account. This is also problematic from a security standpoint as it educates user to not check what apps they are consenting to and proceed anyways. This is due to CloudConstants.cs. The code already contains an open todo comment to change this client id and secret as soon as it is approved.

As a user of Git Credential Manager and Git For Windows I expect a consent prompt for the respective GIT backend (e.g. Git For Windows) or at least for Git Credential Manager
