This doesn't give us a lot to work with. You're connecting using credentials to SPO. Are you sure the account you're trying to authenticate with does not have MFA enabled? Also not clear on which PnP PowerShell version you're using. Please ensure you're using the latest one as there was an issue with using special characters in your password which could be causing this which has been fixed only in the latest April 2020 release (pnp/PnP-Sites-Core#2589)

Good morning! WOW! I hadn't even realized the copy/paste didn't put that information in there correctly. Way to ensure the data is there. Indeed, talk about not doing my part! lol

So yes. I am connecting to SPO to apply a template, but failing on the connection part. 'connect-pnponline -url https://mysite.sharepoint.com/sites/testsite' MFA isn't enabled (on this client at least). I am able to open a new incognito window and login manually to the site; but when using the same creds I am still getting the 401 error.

Below is my current version as of writing. But looking at that, perhaps a wonky install? I am going to remove and reinstall latest and greatest.

I sincerely appreciate the response, as I'm wholly confused why this all of a sudden broke for me. I'll respond with my results.

Ok - still a no go. This is really frustrating. Going to see if I can spin up a Google VM to get a wholly different network and validate, its either something on my end (machine or network) or if this is really broken.

Struggling here...
