Hi @Sachin Prakash ,

You could consider using App password to overcome the MFA etc.

• https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2019/08/connect-sharepoint-online-powershell-using-mfa.html

This password will act as the same role as user password but won't require MFA procedure (dialogue popup).

static void Main(string[] args)  
        {             
            string SiteUrl = "https://abc.sharepoint.com/sites/s01";  
  
            //var pwd = "userpassword";  
            var pwd = "gnckrrjmdwvbywtr";  //this is app password!  
            var username = "support@abc.onmicrosoft.com";  
  
            Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");  
  
            ClientContext context = new ClientContext(SiteUrl);  
  
            SecureString securestring = new SecureString();  
            pwd.ToCharArray().ToList().ForEach(s => securestring.AppendChar(s));  
  
            context.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(username, securestring);  
              
  
            var web = context.Web;  
            context.Load(web);  
            context.ExecuteQuery();  
  
            Console.WriteLine($"web title: {web.Title}");  
              
            Console.ReadKey();           
        }
