Selected Answer: B
For headless “service” accounts that connect programmatically to third‑party applications, Snowflake recommends key‑pair authentication (or OAuth where supported) rather than traditional password‑based login, SSO, or MFA flows. Key‑pair authentication eliminates passwords entirely, aligns with best practices for non‑interactive accounts, and avoids human‑centric authentication requirements like MFA.
