When you first set up a flow, your username and password will be displayed — but keep in mind, you won’t be able to view the password again later. If you forgot to save it or it’s gone missing, don’t worry - you can easily re-generate a new password right from your flow in Flowsite.

To re-generate your password, follow these steps:

1. Access the relevant flow on your Flowsite workspace.

2. Navigate to the second step on the flow editor. It should be called 'Create Excel hosted source' or 'Create Power Bi hosted source'

3. Under 'General' > 'Destination', select the 'Regenerate' button under the Password section

4. This will give you a new password, which will be visible in the Password field. Make sure to copy and paste it somewhere safe. Click 'Done' when finished

⚠️ Important to note:

  • After re-generating your password, you'll need to update the Excel or Power BI connector with the new login details. If others also have access to the same file, they’ll need to update their credentials too to keep everything running smoothly
