Power BI Error:
AADSTS50132

What does this error mean?

The SSO artifact (session cookie/token) is no longer valid because the user's password expired or was recently changed.

Common causes

  • 1User's password expired since the SSO session/cookie was issued
  • 2Password was recently changed (self-service reset or admin reset) invalidating existing sessions
  • 3Conditional Access or session lifetime policy forced a re-evaluation of the SSO artifact
  • 4Stale persistent browser cookie or cached refresh token after a credential change
  • 5Account requires MFA re-registration or risk-based re-authentication after the password change

How to fix it

  1. 1Sign out fully from the affected app (Power BI Service, Fabric, Office portal) and close all browser tabs to drop the stale SSO cookie
  2. 2Sign in again at https://login.microsoftonline.com with the current password — if the password is expired, complete the forced password change first
  3. 3Clear the Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD cookies (or use a private/incognito window) so the client doesn't replay the expired SSO artifact
  4. 4For Power BI Desktop or gateway data sources: open File > Options and settings > Data source settings > Global permissions, clear the saved organizational account, and re-enter credentials
  5. 5If it persists, ask an Entra ID admin to check the user's sign-in logs in the Entra admin center for the matching correlation ID and verify there is no Conditional Access block or revoked session
