DOMException: Failed to execute 'atob' when saving Basic Authentification in Gateway

Hello BI Community, I wanted to create a Gatway Connection to get data in apps.powerbi.com. The Gatway is set up and I can see the Gatway Entry Points at: https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/gateway...
Need Help

    OK, this is unexpected.

    I installed the "PowerBI Standard Gateway". I could authenticate via my credentials and I assumed, that I can now use the Gateway. It seems, that I am only able to use "PowerBI Standard Gateway (personal Editition)".

    This in itself is not a big deal, but I can´t get why this does not get reported as a normal error but in this cryptic and unintuitive way.

    So the problem is solved, if someone stumbles about this error again. Just uninstall the "standard" version and install the "personal" version.

I contected the PowerBI Support Team and I hope they can help.

As I said, it has nothing to do with the data source or Authentication Method. It is a documented error in a Javascript library (documented here: Github MSAL.js )

I hope that they will fix that soon. I wonder, why there aren´t more people who have the same problem.
