Advocate IError with sign in
Thanks for your support here. It looks like it might have been a proxy issue. "netstat -o" was showing that my laptop was trying to connect to a 10. address even when I wasn't connected to a VPN. I'll try again tomorrow to see if that was definitely the cause.
Yes, it was definitely the proxy. I needed to turn the corporate proxy settings off while working from home and not connected to the VPN. Since I've done that I've had no issues getting signed in to Power BI Desktop.
Thanks everyone for their help!
You're using Desktop, right?
LOL, I just got the same error! Here's how I fixed it:
1. Make sure you're using the proper login/passw -- You corporate login may not be the same as your Power BI login
2. Ensure you're not logged in to another Microsoft app via a browser or cloud app. Close program/app, and close browser, clear cache and see if that's the issue.
It worked for me, hope it helps you too.

Yes, I am using Desktop, I don't have a separate login, and I'm not sure how to clear the cache in PBI Desktop.
Hello @HairyDrumroll
Clear the browser cache. Sometimes, if you have provided your credentials for a browser-based application and those credentials are different from those you use for Desktop..... The desk may be confused. It worked for me, hoping it's going to work for you.
Thank you
