  I sure don't want to use my facebook account to access work related stuff, that is absurd.

   Bitbucket should have a concept of "accounts" (each of us has one of these) and "repository trees" (which can be equally shared by one or more accounts).  To use accounts to hold a repository tree is moronic because it makes unsymmetric the relationship between the owner of the account that owns the repository tree and the other accounts that can do stuff with that repository tree.  So what other idiotic decisions did these morons make?

   Sorry but this bit of bad design needs to posted on  petsc-dev so Jed and Matt can provide some rationalization for the stupidity.
