Hi @PBInewuser ,

 

From the error, it seems like you are putting blank as the password. Please try by putting appropriate password and if your actual password in itself is blank, i suggest you to change it and try.

 

Couple of things you can further try:

1. If this has something to do with organisation's VPN connection, try to connect with appropriate VPN. Sometime credentials are not recognized due to incorrect VPN ebing conencted

2. Check this solved thread which is for saleforce data source invalid creds issue. You can try it for your data source.

3. Check if this is a known issue: Link

 

Give a thumbs up if this post helped you in any way and mark this post as solution if it solved your query !!!
