Power BI Can't access streaming data sets from OneDrive & Sharepoint when MFA is enabled. Premier Support advised "OAuth against Azure Active Directory with Multi Factor Authentication turned on is unsupported at current stage"
Please Support MFA!

RE: MFA Authentication

This make powerbi useless and the "workaround" doesn't work either. As soon as I turn MFA back on, the data stops refreshing.

"The currently available workaround is to use "Basic" Authentication or an account without MFA enabled."

RE: MFA Authentication

Without scheduled data refresh, power BI becomes Powerless. Please fix this with MFA enabled.

RE: MFA Authentication

Dynamics365 Sales (CRM) is not able to be connected by PowerBI when MFA is enabled, this is really a crucial development, modern security structures uses MFA. Please align PowerBi with MFA!

RE: MFA Authentication

This is a crucial development for so many modern day security structures which do make use of MFA. Please align PowerBI with other Microsoft systems (especially MFA!).
