Unable to retrieve the data flows, error AADSTS50158: External security challenge not satisfied.

[Anonymous]

I am just trying to get the data flows available for my report.

I have asked to sing-in again, so I put all my data, including the MFA data as well, and after this I receive an erros like bellow:

AADSTS50158: External security challenge not satisfied. User will be redirected to another page or authentication provider to satisfy additional authentication challenges.
Trace ID: 991ededc-8b98-485b-a33d-3c7014286601
Correlation ID: 99a27651-9258-4f20-913a-efaa5cae0f55
Timestamp: 2022-12-04 19:47:38Z. https://login.microsoftonline.com/error?code=50158

After this, in the same computer, I logged through the browser, with the same login data and the same MFA, and it works perfectly.

So the error just happen on Power BI Desktop App.

Could you help me how to solve this issue?

Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous 

Please correct me if I wrongly understood your issue . You can sign in Power BI Service with your account then access the dataflow , but when you use the same account to get dataflow in Power BI Desktop ,you get an error and cannot access the dataflow , right ?

Hi @v-yetao1-msft ,
I am also facing the same issue. Let me elaborate on what I am experiencing.
So I have created a workspace and I have my dataflow created from the powerBI service(through a browser) .
Now in order to work on the same dataflow data from the Power-BI desktop, I am trying to connect to the dataflow(from the Get data option), and it redirected me to our MFA authentication platform (O365) where I chose my official account. But it was throwing this error.
I tried through VPN as well, but still, it threw this error due to which I am unable to access the dataflow in my powerBI-desktop.
