hello I am trying to make a request to obtain the token "https://login.microsoftonline.com/organizations/oauth2/v2.0/token" where I have set all the various fields in the body, such as client_id, scope, username, password, client_secret and grant_type = password. However, I get this error: "AADSTS50076: Due to a configuration change made by your administrator, or because you moved to a new location, you must use multi-factor authentication to access", I tried to remove multi-factor authentication in Azure, but I noticed that it's not actually enabled, so it's like it's set by default, how can I fix it?

    Hello Francescopio,

    I'd recommend checking three things:

    1. Check if security defaults are turned on (which enforces MFA).
    2. Check whether you have a sign-in risk on your account. If there is a sign-in risk policy that enforces MFA, then this could be your issue.
    3. Check for Conditional Access Policies that enforce MFA on your account.

    You could also take a deeper look into your sign-in logs in Azure active Directory to get more details on the message.

    Hopefully this helps.
