No Data refresh with MultiFactorAuthentication

Hello all, I was very excited to finally start using O365, SharePoint Online and and Power BI, only to be let down again because data refresh is disabled with MFA. I created A data set/report connected to a SharePoint Online list, when I try to manually refresh I get an invalid credentials error. I went through the same issue of not being able to schedule a data refresh with on-prem sharepoint and excel. After a bit of research the only solution I have found is turn off MFA, which will not happen with our organization.

 

Thanks for any help

HI @Anonymous,

 

Current power bi service seems not support MFA, perhaps you can vote below idea which has the similar request.

MFA Authentication
