Following this issue, I have copied the code for GetWebLoginClientContext and implemented it in my project. However, I get this out-of-date browser error because the code uses System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser which uses the old built-in browser.

What are the alternative ways of implementing this? My client has MFA turned on so the application needs to have this Web Login to go through the MFA steps.

    Hi @Jack Le

    You can try to use older version of PnP.Framework since the latest version has delete the GetWebLoginClientContext function.

    Please refer to the steps

    1. Go to Manage NuGet Packet.
    2. choose older version such as 3.25 User's image
    3. Now the authManager.GetWebLoginClientContext(siteUrl) is available

    Hi @Jack Le

    Per my research, AuthenticationManager has depatched GetWebLoginClientContext. I will recommend you to use SharePoint app only to connect SharePoint Online with MFA. We need to connect SharePoint without using the PnP Framework library. So you can refer to the following code

    using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
    using System;
    
    namespace AzureACSAuth
    {
        class Program
        {
            static void Main(string[] args)
            {
                string siteUrl = "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/demo";
    
                //Get the realm for the URL
                string realm = TokenHelper.GetRealmFromTargetUrl(new Uri(siteUrl));
    
                //Get the access token for the URL.  
                string accessToken = TokenHelper.GetAppOnlyAccessToken(TokenHelper.SharePointPrincipal, new Uri(siteUrl).Authority, realm).AccessToken;
    
                //Create a client context object based on the retrieved access token
                using (ClientContext cc = TokenHelper.GetClientContextWithAccessToken(siteUrl, accessToken))
                {
                    cc.Load(cc.Web, p => p.Title);
                    cc.ExecuteQuery();
                    Console.WriteLine(cc.Web.Title);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    
    

    And the app.config should be like following

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <configuration>
      <appSettings>
        <!-- Use AppRegNew.aspx and AppInv.aspx to register client id with secret -->
        <add key="ClientId" value="[Your Client ID]" />
        <add key="ClientSecret" value="[Your Client Secret]" />
      </appSettings>
    </configuration>
