Did you check if there are already existing feature requests and did you check if this feature is already work in progress?
In November 2025 Basic auth will be removed => No more data from Snowflake to Power BI. I wonder what exsting customers will do after BI tool they chose does not get updates to support more secure authentication methods.
It is really shame that there has been zero communications if/when MSFT will fix this issue. I wonder if we just should change BI tooling.
