Data Source Credential error upon using Oath 2.0 to refresh SharePoint data

I am trying to refresh Power BI dashboard from excel in Sharepoint location. We are using OAuth2 authentication. While setting up the credential I am getting below error.

 

You need to use SSL (HTTPS) when you use OAuth 2.0 authentication.

 

Please let us know how to resolve the issue.

    Have you enabled Multi-factor authentication(MFA) in your environment? If so, the above error will throw in this case and this behavior is by design. The workaround is to disable the MFA for the account.

  • I successfully resolved this matter by following these steps:

    1. Confirm that your browser has pop-ups enabled.
    2. If the issue persists despite enabling pop-ups and you're not using Microsoft Edge, consider making the switch to Microsoft Edge.

    You can find this checklist here.
