Auto-refresh failed because of invalid VSTS credentials

Hello,

 

I have problem with my dataset's auto-refresh. The error says "Failed to test the connection to your data source. Please retry your credentials.". When editing the credentials and loging in to the correct account, there is an error "Failed to update data source credentials: The credentials provided for the VSTS source are invalid. (Source at ....)". The credentials are valid as I'm editing this dataset through that account, so I don't know why this error ir there. Any suggestions?

Hi,

 

Nope, as I said, the credentials are correct, tried all the authentification options in "edit credentials", it just shows invalid credentials even though they are not invalid.

I have tried changing the auth method from "OAuth2" to "Basic", but the problem remains. Also tried all of the privacy levels for the login, but also stays the same.
