SnowPro Core Certification — Question 1029

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?

Answer options

• A. The user will be unable to enter a password.
• B. The user will encounter an error, and will not be able to log in.
• C. The user will be able to log into Snowflake successfully.
• D. After entering the username and password, the user will be redirected to an Identity Provider (IdP) login page.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because when federated authentication is set up, users can still log in using their passwords defined in Snowflake. Option A is incorrect because users can enter a password; option B is wrong as they will not encounter an error; and option D is not applicable since they will not be redirected to an IdP login page.
