To connect to SharePoint Online Client Context using browser credentials from powershell

Question

I am using below code to connect to SPO from powershell, but we have multi factor authentication in SharePoint.

So I want to give credentials from browser instead of script. Please suggest as i dont want to use PnP and Connect-SPOService due to environment restrictions.

{
    $ctx=New-Object Microsoft.Sharepoint.Client.ClientContext($webUrl)
    $ctx.Credentials=New-Object Microsoft.Sharepoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($userName,$password)
        return $ctx
}

Answer 1

You should create an app password for your user using these steps. Then you will be able to connect using your username and app password instead of a real password.

Answer 2

I didn't try the app password yet, but this worked for me

$Ctx = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteUrl)
$ctx = Get-PnPContext
