Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell using MFA
That's the joy of running those click-once apps...
Try re-donwloading/installing it via IE, see if it makes a difference. If it still doesnt work, you probably have some restrictions set on the IE zones that prevents the app from running. Running .Net code needs to be enabled for example.

Thanks ALOT!
Have been looking every where to find a solution, and then just logon and download from IE fixed everything.. GG played Microsoft... 😕
Not even working in Edge Beta (Chromium browser Edge), that should have old IE support. 😞But finally happy that it works for me. 🙂
It works on Edge Chromium now. You have to enabled the following flag: edge://flags/#edge-click-once

Thanks VasilMichev . You saved the day.
- omg! I was strugling with exatly the same thing today.. strange that it does not work with other browsers.
Anyhow! i got the module now and im happy :) Thanks for that VasilMichev. I read the instructions very cleary and at no stage did they stipulate that it had to be downloaded / run via IE. As soon as I did that it worked perfectly, and I was able to login with my MFA enabled account.
I assume this is the only PowerShell app I can use for this purpose and I can't now use my other PowerShell ISE for MFA also?
Yes ,right.
Even if I download file from chrome, it cannot work then it shows error like below,
But when I download it from internet explorer , it can show message then you click install button.
Then you can see it like this.
To use MFA PowerShell in ISE you could try the following.
- download and install the MFA PowerShell from the Exchange Online Admin Center (hybrid tab)
- then run the following in ISE whenever you connect
$CreateEXOPSSession = (Get-ChildItem -Path $env:userprofile -Filter CreateExoPSSession.ps1 -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Force | Select -Last 1).DirectoryName
. "$CreateEXOPSSession\CreateExoPSSession.ps1"
- this will replicate whatever happens in the MFA PowerShell in ISE
- Connect via:
Connect-EXOPSSession -UserPrincipalName user@domain.com
The problem is in the first step, download and install. Indeed *only* possible using IE.
Sigh... Thanks for your answer VasilMichev
