Using SharePoint Client Side Object Model with PowerShell and Multifactor Authentication
There is a technique to connect to SharePoint Online with PowerShell when Multi-factor Authentication(MFA) is enabled.

There is a very limited list of SharePoint Online cmdlets

I would like to leverage the client side object model to access objects like the webs(spweb) and lists(splist).

Is there a technique( or example) to use my identity/credentials after I have authenticated with Multifactor Authentication with Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext?
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

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
