    Hi Anonymous, I am not having the issue anymore. It seems that the newest version of Power BI Desktop solves my issues (June 22). As a workaroud, you can also change Power BI Desktop settings to Use my default web browser in Authentication Browser:

    1. Go to File in Power BI Desktop
    2. Select Options an settings -> Options -> Security -> Authentication Browser
    3. Enable Use my default web browser.

    Regards,

The option to select the authentication browser is unavailable in PowerBI Desktop(September 2023) for RS.  This is the desktop version you'd download with PowerBi Report Server.  This option allowed us to bypass the Organization Account Authentication error.  Does anyone have any advice on how to work around this?
