For Github (can't speak for Bitbucket) you can consider the alternative authentication mechanism of Personal Access Tokens (PAT). This is simpler to use than an SSH keypair, and can be pasted in much like a traditional password. I used this approach when migrating off the old username/password structure, and it is actually what Github seem to be recommending users migrate to in this situation.
