Can't Log into Data Catalog from Within Excel
Just checked, and when I log into app.powerbi.com with my credentials into app.powerbi.com, I have Power BI Pro. While it doesn't say "pro" anywhere, I have 10 GB of storage. My Power BI Home Screen today.
When I use those same credentials to try to access the Data Catalog in Excel, (Data, My Data Catalog Queries) here's the screen I get.
Login screen 1 from within Excel2 - The popup for the MS Authentication3- I enter password4. A message flashes up saying that I've signed out of my account5. I get this message saying that the request couldn't be authorized.

What is your Excel version? I am unable to reproduce this issue on my side.

We are experiencing the same problem.
Excel is version 16.0.10827.20138 (64-bit)
Hi Lydia, I had a similar issue but mine doesn't even get to the password stage. Here is the advanced diagnostics id:
Sign in to your account
I am having exactly the same issue.
The problem seems to be that even though it indicates that you should provide an organisational account (which would be correct as this is where the Power BI license is) - it is actually not redirecting to our organisational Azure AD and is keeping with the Microsoft Authentication. I can tell this, not only because it does not present with the org branding on the login page - also it will not accept the org password but does accept the microsoft password (on the same email address)
So it seems that Excel is directing to the MS auth method rather than the organizational auth method.
Strange as I am logged into Excel with my Organisational Account!
my version is 16.0.10730.20344
I'm having the same issue, Excel isn't redirecting to our Org sign in at this point. When I enter my org username it just says no Microsoft account exists with that username.
