Connect-AzAccount – how to avoid azure device authentication?

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.
