To save everyone from having to read AnnaChu full post: there is now an Exchange Online Powershell module in preview available that supports MFA. I just tested it and it works (so far) as expected. Go to http://aka.ms/exopspreview to download the preview.

The PnP powershell cmdlets can be use with MFA to peform many actions in SPO, see https://github.com/OfficeDev/PnP-PowerShell and use the https://github.com/OfficeDev/PnP-PowerShell/blob/master/Documentation/ConnectSPOnline.md with the UseWebLogin option

Hi Dean,

can you explain how to use -UserWebLogin parameter correctly?
E.g.
i would like to replace it in
Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://contoso.sharepoint.com -Credentials (Get-Credential)

Not for connecting to Exchange Online, that is purely a PSSession in PowerShell, which is not ADAL enabled. The rest of the services, yes, those cmdlets work, but Exchange and EOP, are just PSSessions.

  I agree that all PS connecting to O365 should support the ADAL library.
  Waiting for this feature already more than 1 year.
