    @Ashwin Barfa
    Go to Microsoft 365 admin center -> Users -> Active users -> Select the user -> Manage multifactor authentication -> Select the user -> Disable multi-factor authentication.

    For those who are still being requested MFA even after turning it off from the Admin center, this is the solution:

    1. Ask your organization Global Admin to go to https://portal.azure.com/
    2. Search and go to: Users
    3. Click on the User with the MFA issue
    4. On the User page, click Authentication methods > Require re-register multifactor authentication

    I might post a video on how to do this. But basically Mohammed's method is the correct one.

    You can achieve it via a conditional access policy for single user.
