extension tries too many times with a failed password

[Jason Beach]

I recently had to change my password (mandated by IT). I didn’t update my password in the extension right away and it appeared to continue to try to login in spite of failing until finally the Bitbucket server required captcha. I tried updating my password in the extension (in both Jira and bitbucket) however neither one seemed to take it. I’d update it and hit save and it would act like it was trying to sync, but it wouldn’t succeed. It appears it somehow retriggered the captcha due to excessive failed logins. I’d check the password and it reverted back to the old password. It seemed the only way I could break out of this cycle was to remove the custom Jira / Bitbucket sites, login to Jira / Bitbucket via a web browser to get rid of the captcha and then re-add the custom sites to the extension. This worked with Jira, however with bitbucket, I’m unable to re-add the custom site. I add the base url, enter my username and password (also tried personal access token) but the “save site” button never enables to save the site.

I just updated vscode, but that doesn’t seem to bave done anything:

Jason,

Sorry you got hit by that retry bug. It’s been fixed in version 2.8.5.

When adding the Bitbucket site is there any indication of one of the fields being invalid? A thicker red boarder with an error message underneath?

Hi Nick, There wasn't. Everything looked as it ought to. There was some weirdness with the "use context path" i.e. the switch would be off but the input field would still display. I'd switch it on and then back off and it'd disappear. I thought I had tried restarting vscode, but everything seems to be working as it ought to now. I was able to save the site to log on as expected. It looks like I now have version 2.8.5 of the extension. I didn't specifically trigger the update so I must have been in a weird state where I had just updated vscode and maybe the extension hadn't reinstalled or something (although normally when that's the case the extension says it needs to be reloaded.)

Thanks, Jason

When is this EVER going to be fixed, happens to me at least three times a day. I can open source tree and push/pull all day long but this plugin fails constantly.
