Issue: Links to Power BI always ask "Enter your email..." and then don't take you to the report

Links to reports in the Power BI service always take you to a page that asks you to "Enter your email, we'll check if you need to create a new account." I should not be landing on this page. It usually takes me straight to the report. I'm even using Edge and am signed in with the correct email address. I have other Power BI tabs open in the same browser.

 

Then, even if you enter your email address, it doesn't take you to the report; it just takes you to the Power BI Home page. I know how to navigate to the intended report from Power BI Home because I am in Power BI every day for my job. Non-daily users, for whom these reports are built, will not know how to navigate to the right place from Power BI Home.

 

Like I mentioned, I'm in Power BI every day, and I have only been experiencing this problem within the last week. It happens whether you link to a report page via the workspace's Power BI App or directly to the report.

 

I found another post about this from March 2022 that says the issue was resolved in May. However, there are multiple comments saying this is still a problem since then.

My specific example is a link that I have placed in an Excel file to the report page within the Power BI App. 

 

This problem is causing all of our links to Power BI within our organization to be unuseable.

I am getting the same problem as well and it also started happening around a couple months back. I tried the &noSignUpCheck=1 fix but it did not work, unfortunately. Is there another fix for this?

Old post I know, but In my case it was the Firefox "Privacy & Security" setting "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed". Everytime I closed Forefox, the cookie got deleted and the next time I started Power BI web it obviously wasn't there. Solved by unchecking the offending setting. Could probably have done it with "Manage Exceptions" too.
