FYI it is misleading, but if you look at the Microsoft documentation on CBA, the only way to do MFA with a cert is to add a Policy O.I.D rule that checks for a value in your cert. The cert then acts as the first factor and second factor. There seems to be no other MFA options supported with CBA yet.

Also, if you you are getting that MFA sign in error regarding "first factor", and want it to work with CBA, you have to disable MFA enforcement at the user level and make sure they aren't included in any other conditional access policies that require MFA. Just make sure you have other user account protections such as additional Conditional Access Policies based on device or IP Range etc.
