Connect-AzAccount - how to avoid azure device authentication?
You have 2 options.
Sign in with credentials (Requires Az.Accounts v 1.2.0 or higher)
You can also sign in with a PSCredential
object authorized to connect to Azure. The easiest way to get a credential object is with the Get-Credential cmdlet. When run, this cmdlet will prompt you for a username/password credential pair.
$creds = Get-Credential
Connect-AzAccount -Credential $creds
Sign in with a service principal
Service principals are non-interactive Azure accounts. Like other user accounts, their permissions are managed with Azure Active Directory. By granting a service principal only the permissions it needs, your automation scripts stay secure.
To learn how to create a service principal for use with Azure PowerShell, see Create an Azure service principal with Azure PowerShell.

1.To login with the user account, try the command as below, make sure your account doesn't enable the MFA(Multi-Factor Authentication).
$User = "[email protected]"
$PWord = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "<Password>" -AsPlainText -Force
$tenant = "<tenant id>"
$subscription = "<subscription id>"
$Credential = New-Object -TypeName "System.Management.Automation.PSCredential" -ArgumentList $User,$PWord
Connect-AzAccount -Credential $Credential -Tenant $tenant -Subscription $subscription
2.You can also use a service principal to login, use the command as below.
$azureAplicationId ="Azure AD Application Id"
$azureTenantId= "Your Tenant Id"
$azurePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString "strong password" -AsPlainText -Force
$psCred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($azureAplicationId , $azurePassword)
Connect-AzAccount -Credential $psCred -TenantId $azureTenantId -ServicePrincipal
See a similar issue I answered here, it use the old AzureRM
module, for Az
, just change the last line.
If you are not familiar with service principal, Also see : How to: Use the portal to create an Azure AD application and service principal that can access resources, the application id and authentication key are the Azure AD Application Id
and strong password
you need.
