Git on Bitbucket: Always asked for password, even after uploading my public SSH key

Question

I uploaded my ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to Bitbucket\'s SSH keys as explained, but Git still asks me for my password at every operation (such as git pull).

Answer 1

None of these answers helped me, turned out my issue was slightly different. It was ssh that was asking for my password each time, before sending the key. So what I had to do was link my password with this command:

ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa

It'll then prompt you for your password and store it. This could be the solution you're looking for if each time your prompted for a password it says

Enter passphrase for key '/Users//.ssh/id_rsa':

NOTE: I used this on my mac machine successfully, but as @Rob Kwasowski pointed out below, the upper case K option is unique to mac. If not on mac you will need to use lowercase k (which probably works for mac too but I haven't tested).
