Dynamic password with Oracle connection?
Hi jdmbkj,
The short answer is no. The credentials for data sources is not actually stored inside of the PBIX file. Instead it's stored in a zip file called User.Zip in the AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop. Inside the zip is a file called credentials.bin. That's where the credentials are being stored. This file is encrypted so there isn't anyway to modify it to make it dynamic.
