Couldn't Authenticate though user is currently signed-in

While trying to connect to Azure DevOps from Power BI Desktop, could not get authenticated though singed in. Tried the recommendation from another forum as below, but could not resolve. Appreciate any help.

Hi @bharath47 ,

Please try to create Personal Access Token(PAT) to connect.

Refer:

  1. Enter client credentials in Power BI or Excel 
  2. Use personal access tokens 

Notice:

We recommend you keep IIS Basic Authentication turned off at all times when using Azure DevOps Server. Only if necessary should you enable IIS Basic Authentication. When IIS Basic Authentication is enabled on your windows machine, it prevents you from using personal access tokens (PATs) as an authentication mechanism.

Refer: Enabling IIS Basic Authentication invalidates using Personal Access Tokens
