power bi datasource and auth

[dethial]

Hello:

i am using Ms teams CQD integration with power bi.  I have all of my datasources configured with my account auth and I was going to change to service account lateron.  But recently we are testing azure ad mfa with my account so obviously my reports broke untill i login with mfa on datasource auth.  My question what is the best way(secure) to configure datasource auth?

thanks

Hello Team_yalan Wu

I dont think any of those links above talks about power bi datasource auth and mfa.. Basically i want to know rather than assigning service account with username and password datasource auth?  is there anyway to secure the auth for datasources.
