SnowPro Core Certification — Question 895

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, E

Explanation

The correct answers are A and E because Snowflake supports OAuth for secure token-based authentication and traditional Username and password authentication for user logins. Options B, C, and D are not primary methods for REST API interactions, as they are either not supported or are supplementary to the main authentication methods.
