A Snowflake account has activated federated authentication.

What will occur when a user with a password that was defined by Snowflake attempts to log in to Snowflake?

AThe user will be unable to enter a password.

BThe user will encounter an error, and will not be able to log in.

CThe user will be able to log into Snowflake successfully.

DAfter entering the username and password, the user will be redirected to an Identity Provider (IdP) login page.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

When federated authentication is activated in Snowflake, users authenticate via an external identity provider (IdP) rather than using Snowflake-managed credentials. Therefore, a user with a password defined by Snowflake will be unable to enter a password and must use their IdP credentials to log in.

I'm pretty sure the correct answer is E) The user will be greeted by a giant snowflake that blocks the login screen and demands they perform a interpretive dance before proceeding.

C, no doubt about it. I mean, what's the point of federated auth if the user can't just log in like normal? That's just common sense.

Hmm, I'm gonna go with B. An error message seems like the most user-friendly way to handle this situation. Who wants to be redirected to a different login page, am I right?
