PowerBI Desktop Login

I'm having and issue getting my instance of Power BI Desktop to connect to Power BI Service.  When I attempt to publish all I get is the 'Enter Email Address' prompt. I enter known good credentials for both the email address and the password, but once the box disappears nothing else happens. I no longer get the pop-up in which I'm supposed to select the workspace I want to publish to. Also, the 'Sign in' function in the top right never shows my username. Although when I click on it, it gives me Sign-out, Profile, and Power BI Service options as though I'm signed in.  This has happened since my organization has started enforcing the use of the Windows Authenticator app and I'm wondering if that has any impact.
