Hello All,

 

Do we know when connecting Purview to Snowflake using key pair authentication, will be available or announced? and what are the other options available?

    Hello Vishal!Thank you for reaching out!

    Currently Purview doesn't support connecting to Snowflake using key-pair authentication. Currently, what is supported is the basic authentication with.

    There is no official information about adding key-pair authentication as a future feature, but I would encourage that you can keep an eye on Microsoft's documentation for updates:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/register-scan-snowflake

    Meanwhile, allow me to reach out to the product team to understand the status of this feature and I can revert on any updates on the thread.

      Snowflake already has announced the time schedule for deprecation of password-only sign-in.

        https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/security-mfa-rollout
        Jun. 2025 - Aug. 2025 Mandatory MFA for all Snowsight users
        Aug. 2025 - Oct. 2025 Mandatory MFA for all new human users
        Nov. 2025 - Jan. 2026 No new legacy service users
        Mar. 2026 - May. 2026 Mandatory MFA for all human users
        Jun. 2026 - Aug. 2026 No legacy service users

      Do you have a plan to support key-pair authentication and others, except password-only on Snowflake intagration?
