i think, you are using old version Azure active directory module powershell, so you can try with new version 1.1.166.0 or 2.0

I was able to fix it by running the below commands in PS ISE as admin:

Find-Module MSOnline

Install-Module MSOnline

Import-Module msonline

I ran into a similar issue myself recently on a PC. For me, the issue was also an outdated MSOnline package. However, I had the original 1.0 module which came via MSI. I had to uninstall 1.0 first from Control Panel before it would let me run Install-Module -Name MSOnline

I documented the process here https://supertekboy.com/2018/11/07/connect-msolservice-may-fail-when-mfa-is-enabled/
