Using SharePoint Client Side Object Model with PowerShell and Multifactor Authentication
Connecting to SharePoint Online using PnP PowerShell Connect-PnPOnline allows you to specify a UseWebLogin parameter. This allows you to connect with MFA enabled. Once connected you'd have many more https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP-PowerShell/blob/master/Documentation/readme.mdat your disposal

Hope this helps!
Would there happen to be a way to do this without the web login? Use case: automated PowerShell scripts running on a schedule where the service account also has MFA enabled.
i was able to run my azure automation script that accesses an SPO tenant with CSOM + an account that has MFA authentication enabled by using the app password

i deleted the default app pass that was created, as it didn't seem to work in powershell, i found another post on tech community that describes the same problem

Seems to work with the app password now. Thanks for the nudge!
- I also use an App Password and it works well.
Worked great right up till the ability to create App Passwords disappeared from every O365 tenant I manage. Every client, even my companies own tenant, the option to create these is gone, and no one can seem to figure out how to re-enable it.

Given you're using App Passwords, I hope it's safe to assume you're using entirely sharepoint online.
If that assumption is correct, you can make use of;https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-pnp/connect-pnponline?view=sharepoint-ps
