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.

You need to use the PnP SharePoint cmdlets to use MFA with SPO, see https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP-PowerShell,

If the account requires MFA, the UseWebLogin parameter is needed, see https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP-PowerShell/blob/master/Documentation/ConnectPnPOnline.md

This works well now for using PowerShell with SharePoint Online and MFA - interactive, but approach works with MFA - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161372.aspx

You need the latest SPO PowerShell module version though: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35588&751be11f-ede8-5a0c-058c-2ee190a24fa6=True

And, SfBO PowerShell also supports MFA now: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39366
