Why add to data sources setting when connect is failed

‎11-22-2017 07:48 PM

When I input username and password, an error is reported "We encountered an error while trying to connect". In my understanding, username or password is incorrect. But why should Power Bi add this config to "data sources setting" so I need to clean "data sources setting" by hand.
