Re: Power BI Desktop keeps asking to sign in
Yet another person having issues with this here! talking to you from 2024 March 1st! One would guess that this should have been fixed already but here we are. Except, I did find a solution, and it's not Idris' one up there. I went back on my steps, and I do remember messing with the windows Hello configuration for my laptop, just setting up the fingerprint for easy access and whatnot. I do remember checking something like use windows hello for authentication or something (seemed legit at the moment) Around that time, there was also a small PBI outage, so I didn't think much when the PBI desktop started asking me for the password, and it also requested one of my coworkers to do it, so I htought that was it. Fast forward 2 weeks and every single time that I open PBI I have 2 sign in twice, and we use MFA which means notifications, codes, everything... twice. Darn! SO I found this thread, did everything to no avail. Until (solution is here ) I remembered the windows hello thingy, started searching in my browsers for related stuff, found nothing, Brave (default), Chrome, Edge... Then I remembered that there was this thing called "Internet properties" in which MS stores some global protection things for Edge and other browsers, went there and found: The option "Enable Integrated Windows Authentication" was checked for me. (as much as I looked for the option in the control panel and windows hello configuration I could not find were to disable the thing I had checked before, but it seems like I was on the right path) So after unchecking the green option, and applying. I reopened PBI, logged in for the last time, closed it, crossed my fingers and I was logged in.... god, the relief! ok, cheers, have a good one kind strangers!
