Hi Cherie, and thanks you for these links.

 

Unfortunately, it didn't help fixing my issue.

However, I've tried on a different laptop this morning.

I've been prompted with regular "Dataflow connector authentication windows" (not the Blob storage one), and it seems to be working fine.

Maybe it is just a connexion bug that could be fixed by removing previous credentials provided to PBI Desktop.

 

Anyway, Dataflow remains a beta version, so I'm not worried :)

Have a nice day.
