    Yes, I solved the problem. Problem was in domain preferences for users. They couldn't store any passwords in their computers. I created trusted local area for storing that.

    I added 

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\Protect\Providers\df9d8cd0-1501-11d1-8c7a-00c04fc297eb]
"ProtectionPolicy"=dword:00000001

    to registry and it worked

I guess, start with what version of Windows, 32-bit or 64-bit, version of Power BI Desktop (File | Options and settings | Options | Diagnostics). How many machines does it work on and what are the differences between those installs?

I didn't install Power BI Desktop. Only Power BI Publisher for Excel 32-bit.

I have the same Windows x64 on all computers.

On some computers I filled the Login and Password once and I can Refresh the data without doing that again for every refreshing datasets in the report. 

For 2 other computers I have to do it a lot of times.

I don't know what information I can give you for solving this...
