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
