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 doesnt work when connecting to the Azure DevOps data source either, making Power BI useless. How is it that we still don't have a fix for this after several years, when its all MS products, and yet the recommended secure authenticaiton method BY MICROSOFT is not supported by a MICROSOFT app who's whole purpose is to connect to other apps and access their data?

RE: MFA Authentication

Please fix this as soon as possible. Power BI scheduled refresh under my account give error because of MFA.

RE: MFA Authentication

So, to get around this, we had to write some C# code to invoke the API's to retrieve the required data. Unfortunately this was then seized upon by our Tableau team to provide the requisite reports. No problem; it was a small customer; just the U.S. Navy.

RE: MFA Authentication

Please add support for MFA so I can create reports for our ticket system which is behind conditional access/MFA.

RE: MFA Authentication

Can't believe this has been on here for 2 years without a fix. Please implement this feature!

RE: MFA Authentication

The same here, MFA is considered as a general offering out of the Azure AD platform. It is absolutely mandatory to add MFA/Conditional access support as soon as possible.

RE: MFA Authentication

HI
Please enable the MFA for App owns data Power BI Integration , We are using it to integrate Power bi Reports with web portals. Before enabling MFA we were able to integrate but now we are not able to generate tokens.
