Setup Service Account

Dear All,

 

I am using On-premises Data Gateway (recommended/standard) option, during the data Gateway setup I used generic email id(Service account) in this setup it's asking multi-factor authentication, as per our customer security policy they will not allow us without MFA, please help me how to setup Service account without MFA?
