I am running into issues with autheticating to O365 on Powershell and in this case my account has been enabled with MFA. I already installed the preview from https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/ente...

    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.

I'm with you.  I want MFA on all my admin IDs, yet MFA is not enabled when using PowerShell for O365 or Exchange Online.  Yes, I did get into Azure AD powershell with MFA and was not able to administer Exchange Online or anything else.   

 

Yep.  Not-so-patiently waiting for MS to imbed MFA here.  I love the extra level of security MFA adds to the game.
