Authentication Impact of MFA Requirement

[dwainbunker]

Referring to this announcement:
https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000356005&type=1

We are using the authentication method

AuthenticationClient.UsernamePasswordAsync(string clientId, string clientSecret, string username, string password)

Will the aforementioned announcement impact this function? If so, what would be the best way to handle the change? We have a background job (no user interaction) that must be able to authenticate itself.

@dwainbunker , I know this is late, but we had the same issue resolved by setting the integration API user to not require MFA. https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.security_mfa_exclude_exempt_users.htm&type=5
