Unable to Connect to Web Source With Credentials in Power Query
Tim Scott I went to Excel Options >> Data >> Show legacy data import wizards
Hope I did get you correctly.
Just for reference, below are Navigator snapshot using Power BI

Deleted first of all, it looks like the query on your old PC hasn't been refreshed in months. From the Query Editor, click on REFRESH ALL and see if it still works. If it does work, click on the Web View tab and post a screen shot of both PC's (redacting any sensitive info of course). Lastly, click on Data Source Settings on the Main tab in Query Editor and then Edit Credentials. See how the old one is set-up compared to the new PC. I'm not convinced your problem is authentication or that your problem doesn't exist on the old PC. This will prove or disprove, I think.
Tim Scott's legacy wizard suggestions are not at all what you're looking for. the legacy scrape is far inferior and you old PC was not using legacy. Not sure why it's even being suggested.
To answer your question to me, I did figure this out - somehow. Can't recall exactly. But it had something to do with typing my password into the API credentials, I think. I can't quite recall but it wasn't an obvious move. After 2 years with no answer, I just started trying things and it worked. Did it for a few other sites, didn't write it down, now I can't remember.
Well - the legacy wizard solved my problem. If that's not the answer, either Microsoft have changed something in two years or it's a different problem.
Toynk Accounting I just click REFRESH ALL in old PC and it is still working.
Below screenshots of each Navigator Web View (Seems like Internet Explorer is causing the error?)

Regarding Data Source Setting, both are same and was reference to old PC
Deleted interesting. I guess try and turn off the Internet Compatibility settings. Otherwise, I'm a at a loss. Sorry can't be of more help
Toynk Accounting sadly that didn't work as well.
I remember in the past when I was working in the old PC for the same thing, I was able to enter credentials (Username & Password), and after that, query shows all the tables I needed (that was Aug-Sept 2018). I really do not understand why credentials entry are currently not working properly.
