Is it possible pass the credentials: username and password to connecto to EOP by the command "Connect-IPPSSession -ConnectionUri https://ps.protection.outlook.com/powershell-liveid/"?

I know that I could youse -UserPrincipalName but this option doesn't include the password so is not usable for me.

    Yes, the cmdlet does support a -Credential parameter. So you can do this: 

    $cred = Get-Credential ******@domain.com
Connect-IPPSSession -Credential $cred

    Note however that this will always result in connecting via Basic authentication, which might be blocked in your organization. Whereas using the -UserPrincipalName parameter, or connecting without specifying any parameters supports Modern authentication/MFA too.
