I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 where I have set up an SSH key to be used with Git. On one of the first prompts when I used the key I checked the option to stop asking me for the SSH password when my user is logged in. I want to revert on that choice so that I will be again prompted for the SSH password.
ssh password git

I think this is what you're asking: SSH: Switch from public key authentication to password - Server Fault

I don't see what this has to do with git though. Do you mean GitHub?

The remote git server is hosted with Bitbucket, not GitHub.

Are you sure that your private key has a password set at all?

Yes, it has a password set.

In case git is using ssh-agent (I am guessing a bit here), you would have to issue the command
ssh-add -D
to make it forget cached credentials for all your private keys. Those credentials would have been forgotten after a reboot of the system as well.
