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

Our organization has MFA enabled for security reasons. Changing an account to not have MFA in order to use cloud data sets with Power BI is a security risk.

RE: MFA Authentication

Can we get some sort of update from Microsoft here? With security concerns this day and age and all the phishing attempts across the world. MFA is becoming the standard for all secured users.

To make people go in and re-authenticate every few days is not acceptable. Power Apps and other tools have ways to setup the system to handle this on an ongoing basis. Why doesn't Power BI?

RE: MFA Authentication

was there any workaround or update on this? i need to access CRM DYNAMICS API using OAuth2 and i believe the authentication method gets reset to anonymous after a week due to MFA.

RE: MFA Authentication

We use MFA for pretty much everything, from O365, Azure to Sendgrid. None of this now works in Power BI. This really needs to change since we will not allow admins to connect without MFA to any service we subscribe to.

Please enable the functionality to authenticate to reporting services with MFA
