Are you successfully signed in on the Desktop? You can turn on tracing to see what is going on, go to File | Options and settings | Options | Diagnostics and click "enable tracing". Try to publish and then go check your trace folder.
I am guessing that if this is not an intermittent issue, that there it is a firewall or proxy issue of some sort.
Estimados buenas tardes, a mi me esta saliendo el siguiente mensaje al momento de logonearme en el Power BI desktop

La version instalada es:

In my case I solved by disabling the antivirus .

** Authentication Issue
I tried turning off my firewall and running my windows defender but that didn't work.
I enabled the stack trace in Power BI and saw the error messages. There is an issue with PowerBI being able to authenticate my username. For TFS and some other applications I believe it connects automatically to my vpn once I log in but I noticed it does not with Power BI.
I went in and made sure that my VPN was connected and then it worked. It prompted to restart the Power BI desktop but then I was able to login.
