I want to enable custom app authentication by disabling the tenant property -DisableCustomAppAuthentication on SharePoint online

I have tried the below commands but I am getting error parameter not found:

set-spotenant -DisableCustomAppAuthentication $false

Set-PnPTenant -DisableCustomAppAuthentication $false

Error while using PnP PowerShell:

Set-PnPTenant : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'DisableCustomAppAuthentication'.
At line:1 char:15
+ Set-PnPTenant -DisableCustomAppAuthentication $false

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-PnPTenant], ParameterBindingException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,SharePointPnP.PowerShell.Commands.Admin.SetTenant

Error while using SharePoint PowerShell:

Set-SPOTenant : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'DisableCustomAppAuthentication'.
At line:1 char:15  + set-spotenant -DisableCustomAppAuthentication $false

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-SPOTenant], ParameterBindingException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell.SetTenant
