Authentication for Power Bi

I am following the tutorial https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-hub/iot-hub-live-data-visualization-in-power-bi, but I get to the point that I need to authenticate Power Bi.  I normally use Hotmail for all my Microsoft work, but it says I cant use that.  The office 365 I am running is my own and not part of a business.  So I used my College email and that seem to work, but when returned to the screen nothing seem to change.  I pressed the create button and I get the following messages.

Hi @smiske,

 

Have you firstly used your College email to sign up for Power BI, then use the email for authorization? Smiley Happy

 

Regards

Is there any forward movement on this issue?

Yes I have, 

 

Should I share the e-mail here?
