Powershell PnP - login to Sharepoint online and download file

Question

I am trying to login to Sharepoint Online with PnP. The thing is once I use credentials it prompts me to select windows credentials and while I try to use weblogin:

Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://somesite.sharepoint.com" -UseWebLogin

It automatically tries to log me in with my currrent Windows User.

What I try to achieve is authenticate with some user/password I provide in the code and download file from Sharepoint in the background.

Is there any way to achieve it with PnP?
