Unencrypted password sent via Power Query

[Anonymous]

I am seeing this when I try to connect with the SharePoint Online connector.

Unencrypted password

Is there a way to connect with an encrypted password please?

Is it ever a good idea to send your password in cleartext?

Hi PHorniak,

You can use power bi service to connect to sharepoint, click get data-> file-> sharepoint.

Hi Jimmy,

Thanks for your message. Why is the Desktop option offering to send an unencrypted password?

Cheers,
