Unable to authorize GitHub for PowerBI

Trying to connect to GitHub from Power BI desktop, but the authorize PowerBI button on the "Authorize GitHub for Power BI page" is disabled. I suspect it has something to do with the message that states "please note that github no longer supports internet explorer". 

 

Steps to reproduce:

  1. get data --> github --> connect
  2. enter owner and repository name, for example, MicrosoftDocs and powerbi-docs
  3. click "sign-in"
  4. another screen opens: 
    1. URL: https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize
    2. banner at top: "Please note that GitHub no longer supports internet explorer
    3. Main text: "Authorize GitHub for PowerBI
    4. Green button, which is disabled: "Authorize PowerBI"

Any workarounds for this? 

 

Thanks!
