# Power BI Authentication Setup

The Xibo Dashboard Service does not support Microsoft Authenticator as a two factor method for the Power BI Xibo Dashboard Service authentication. This guide will take you through the required steps using the Authenticator App to obtain the secret key required for configuration to enable the Power BI Dashboard.

First go to `https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info`

* Click **Add sign-in method**
* Select **Authenticator App** from the **Add a method** form:

The **Microsoft Authenticator** box will open.

* Select the bottom option **I want to use a different authenticator app**:

* Click on the "**Can't scan image?**" text to reveal the **Secret key**.
* Copy this key for later to enter into the **Second Factor secret** field when at the Configuring the Power BI connector stage.
* Next scan the QR code using Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or similar and click Next.
* Complete the setup by entering the 6 digit code as shown on your chosen authenticator app.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.xibosignage.com/setup-docs/cms-configuration-and-integration/xibo-dashboards-power-bi-authentication-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
