How to correct invalid credentials in PowerBI online - Credentials provided invalid status code 400
Hi
Thank you for the feedback
- I had previously tried in private, use of another browser and accessing via different maching - that didn't seem to work
- I logged into PowerBI Desktop and cleared the credentials, and cache.
- I then logged back into PowerBI online, retried the connection - entering the OData URL
- it still seemed to have saved credentials as I wasn't prompted for username or password.
- I then looked at the Datasets, and the "Dataset credentials" was accessible, so I edited the credentials to the correct username and OAuth token
I don't know if it was luck, in my timing - i.e. getting to the Datasets before the previous error was returne.
Anyway the above seems to now work.
That doesn't explain why the App install into PowerBI online doesn't "fail clean" - it leaves a copy of the App in the settings Dashboard list that can't be removed. Nor does it confirm where the credentials are stored, and why they can't be accessed / updated.
Summary - use Desktop to remove the credentials and clear the cache, then navigate to "Datasource credentials" after entering the OData URL - and the "Datasource credentials" can be accessed.
Thanks again
alanl_tef,
I would recommend you clear the saved password, cache and cookies in your web browser and check if you can enter new data.
If the issue still persists, use in-private window of your browser to sign in Power BI Service.
