Failed to update data source credentials when refreshing from Sharepoint list
mebden,
Do you connect to SharePoint Online list in Power BI? If so, I test the scenario as yours and I can successfully enter credential and refresh the dataset in Power BI Service.
Have you enabled Multi-factor authentication(MFA) in your environment? If so, the above error will throw in this case and this behavior is by design. The workaround is to disable the MFA for the account.

Lydia

When you say 'disable the MFA for the account' - which account ar you referring to?
I have the same issue and every combination of the options below gives me an error. Are there no other options here? Data Source Configuration - Power BI
