- A No
- B Yes
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
With federated authentication enabled on an account, Snowflake still allows maintaining and using Snowflake user credentials (login name and password). In other words:
Account and security administrators can still create users with passwords maintained in Snowflake.
Users can still log into Snowflake using their Snowflake credentials.
However, if federated authentication is enabled for an account, Snowflake does not recommend maintaining user passwords in Snowflake. Instead, user passwords should be maintained solely in your IdP.
