Mercurial bitbucket authorization failed

Question

I changed my Bitbucket password based on 1Pass's watchtower recommendation. Ever since, I can't pull / push any of my repos, although I can login via a browser. I've tried both HTTP and SSH, and neither work.

Here is a sample output.

hg pull --debug https://caliChander@bitbucket.org/caliChander/cs1
using https://bitbucket.org/caliChander/cs1
http auth: user caliChander, password not set
sending capabilities command
using auth.bitbucket.* for authentication

http auth: user caliChander, password *******************************
using auth.bitbucket.* for authentication

abort: authorization failed

I'm curious as to why it says "password not set" when my ~/.hgrc looks something like this:

[ui]
username = First Last <some.email@random.com>
[auth]
bitbucket.prefix = bitbucket.org
bitbucket.username = caliChander
bitbucket.password = some_very_long_password_here
bitbucket.schemes = http https
[web]
cacerts = /etc/hg-dummy-cert.pem

My gut feeling is that certain characters aren't allowed in the password field? This was randomly generated via 1Pass. Is this so?

Just in case it's needed, the .hg/hgrc in the cs1 repo looks like this:

[paths] default = https://caliChander@bitbucket.org/caliChander/cs1

I'm on OS X Mavericks. Thanks for the help!

Because URL may contain both username and password, your https://caliChander@bitbucket.org/ have only username part

[ui] section is irrelevant in auth-stage (it's just informative data, used for defining userdata, shown in log for local commits), only username-password from [auth] used for authentication. You can temporary disable password in hgrc and enter it by hand
