QuestionQ5

Manage and administer Snowflake accounts, data security, and governance

A user has enrolled in multi-factor authentication (MFA) to connect to Snowflake. The user tells the Snowflake Administrator that they lost their mobile phone the prior evening.

Which action should the Administrator take to enable the user to sign in to the system without revoking the user’s MFA enrollment?

Explanation

Setting the user’s MINS_TO_BYPASS_MFA property to a limited number of minutes temporarily permits single-factor password authentication while retaining the user’s MFA enrollment. Snowflake documents this setting as the method for temporarily disabling MFA for a locked-out user.
