while connecting to sharepoint online power shell error coming up

Question

Although credentials are correct, while connecting to SharePoint online power shell error coming up
Please find attached screenshot

I have used -useweblogin this worked for PnPpowershell but not sharepoint online powershell
However I don't want to use -useweblogin

How should I fix this issue? Please help

FYI: while creating tenant it asked for 2FA so I had to install 2FA app on mobile to authenticate.

Answer 1

Hi @sns ,

Please confirm if you have the required module (and also if you need an update), and use:

Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell  

Then execute the following PowerShell commal

Connect-SPOService -url https://domain-admin.sharepoint.com  

After you hit Enter, you will see a familiar Office 365 login page.

Finally, enter the Admin name and password

Thanks,
Echo Du

Answer 2

Do not use the -Credentials parameter, doing this forces basic authentication, which will not work in your case. Run the cmdlet with just the URL parameter, this will cause a credentials prompt to pop up, similar to the -userweblogin switch for PnP.

How to update? Please address

Answer 4

Run Connect-SPOService https://tenantName-admin.sharepoint.com. This will bring up a dialog box for Modern Auth where you can enter your username/password and complete the MFA prompt.
