How to disable multifactor authentication from microsoft account? Receiving error AADSTS50076 when acquire token OAUTH2

I have a web application that uses Microsoft Power BI Embedded. To embed a report, first I need an OAUTH2 token from Microsoft and for this I use the following request:

URL [POST] https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/token

scope
resource
client_id
username
password
grant_type
client_secret

This request works fine for me for months, but recently, I don't receive a token anymore, instead I receive an error:

{
    "error": "interaction_required",
    "error_description": "AADSTS50076: Due to a configuration change made by your administrator, or because you moved to a new location, you must use multi-factor authentication to access '00000009-0000-0000-c000-000000000000'. Trace ID: __________ Correlation ID: ____________ Timestamp: 2025-03-04 17:13:38Z",
    "error_codes": [
        50076
    ],
    ...

I know that some configs are changed in Azure Portal, in the past, multifactor authentication was not required, but now, it is required. I assume that this changes have connection. My question is:

How can I disable multifactor authentication forever for the user? Or bypass this OAUTH2 error?

I already went to page "Multi-factor authentication per user" and disabled for the user, but it not worked fine, show "disabled", but still require and receive the error mentioned below.

I found a solution, here:

To disable multi-factor authentication:

  1. Go to Azure Active Directory Properties page (https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_AAD_IAM/ActiveDirectoryMenuBlade/Properties).
  2. On the bottom of the page, choose Manage Security defaults, and in the Enable Security defaults pane, set Enable Security defaults toggle to No.
