    Hi @Gongya Yu

    Thank you for reaching us!

    To answer your question, in Microsoft Entra id MFA is for user principals(users), NOT service principals

    In your case if the python SDK depends on token grant flow types used. If the flow needs the user authentication you need to authenticate with user.
    In instance MFA for client_credentials, On-Behalf-Of flow, in Entra ID is not possible currently

    Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.

    Thanks.
