Web Resource Utility Tool vs Multi Factor Auth

We used web resource utility tool to deploy our web resources to Dynamics CRM online, it worked fine. But now multi factor authentication is enabled and I am not able to logon the web resource utility tool.

From below link I learn that MFA is enabled per user. This means that if a user has MFA-enabled, they won't be able to use a non-browser client, such as Outlook 2013 with Office 365, until they create an app password. An app password is a password that is created within the Azure portal and that allows the user to bypass MFA and continue to use their application.

So I tried to create an app password, but it didn't work on the tool. So I guess app password only work for office client app, such as outlook, right?

And now, since app password is not working, how can I use web resource utility tool with multi factor auth?
