SnowPro Core Recertification — Question 37

What are the primary authentication methods that Snowflake supports for securing REST API interactions? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. OAuth
• B. Key pair authentication
• C. Federated authentication
• D. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
• E. Username and password authentication

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

OAuth and Key pair authentication are the primary methods that Snowflake supports for REST API security, as they provide strong mechanisms for secure token-based authentication and are widely used in modern applications. The other options, while relevant to authentication in various contexts, do not specifically pertain to the REST API interactions supported by Snowflake.
