Snowflake Will Block Single-Factor Password Authentication

[nishimurakaori]

snowflake plans to make MFA authentication mandatory.
It would be helpful if you could also support connection authentication with redash.
Thank you in advance.

I suggest implementing key-pair authentication because implementing MFA in Redash would be challenging, so adding support for key-pair authentication would be a better approach.

Hi there, Luis from Snowflake.

While Key-pair authentication is an option. For human interactive scenarios, I would encourage Redash team to support OAuth 2.0 Authorization code flow (Snowflake OAuth). In this way, users doesn't have to invest in maintaining individual keys for this integration.
