When connecting to pnp powershell , Connect-PnPOnline -Url <site url>-UseWebLogin, I am getting below error.

Connect-PnPOnline : 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 '00000003-0000-0ff1-ce00-000000000000'.

Please help me to know why this is happening

    Hello @Mukherjee, Nilanjan ,

    Welcome to Q&A Forum!

    This is because the Connect-PnPOnline command with the Credential parameter is not work to MFA enabled accounts.

    If you have an account secured with MFA, when using PnP PowerShell you have to use the weblogin option which shows a popup to support MFA. It's an interactive process that you couldn't implement in a build pipeline. That's just the consequence of using MFA which always requires user interaction.

    Please use the below PnP powershell command:

    Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://contoso.sharepoint.com" -UseWebLogin  
    

    OR

    Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://contoso.sharepoint.com" -Interactive  
    

    For more information, please refer to "Connect-PnPOnline".

    Thanks,

    Hi @Mukherjee, Nilanjan ,

    Please following steps:

    1.Update the module to latest version then compare the result:

    Update-Module SharePointPnPPowerShell*  
    

    2.You have to connect with Connect-PnPOnline -PnPManagementShell and then you will receive a code to enter on https://microsoft.com/devicelogin

    Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://xxxx.sharepoint.com/" -PnPManagementShell

    3.Type https://microsoft.com/devicelogin on the browser, where you will need to login with credentials for an account that must have the Application Admin role assigned to them in the Admin Center, and then you can consent to give PnP Management Shell access to your tenant.
