    Import external data from the web keeps asking for credentials (when there are none)

    When I try to import data from a CSV file via URL, it asks for user credentials, even though there are none.
    Pressing cancel whenever prompted will actually import the data just normally, but since I need to re-open the data source numerous times, it becomes frustrating.

    Here's the link to the CSV file if you want to test it out: https://ui.belboon.com/productdatado...ype=belbooncsv
    Remember that you don't need credentials and can skip it by pressing cancel.

    What may cause this problem?

    The manual process is causing this. Do you want this data inserted into the activesheet at a specific point? VBA allows you to suppress such alerts. This macro downloads that file into cell A1 of the activesheet:
