Snowflake Exam ADA-C01 Topic 3 Question 20 Discussion

Actual exam question for Snowflake's ADA-C01 exam
Question #: 20
Topic #: 3
[All ADA-C01 Questions]

A user has enrolled in Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) for connecting to Snowflake. The user informs the Snowflake Administrator that they lost their mobile phone the previous evening.

Which step should the Administrator take to allow the user to log in to the system, without revoking their MFA enrollment?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The MINS_TO_BYPASS_MFA property allows the account administrator to temporarily disable MFA for a user who has lost their phone or changed their phone number1. The user can log in without MFA for the specified number of minutes, and then re-enroll in MFA using their new phone1. This does not revoke their MFA enrollment, unlike the DISABLE_MFA property, which cancels their enrollment and requires them to re-enroll from scratch1. The other options are not valid ways to bypass MFA, as SnowSQL does support MFA authentication2, and there is no such URL parameter as /?mode=mfa_bypass&code= for Snowflake3

I think both options could work, but I would go with option B just to be on the safe side and ensure the user can log in without any issues.

I'm not sure about that, I think setting DISABLE_MFA to true might be a safer choice to suspend MFA requirement for 24 hours.

Ah, the old 'I lost my phone' excuse. Classic! But in all seriousness, we need to find a secure way to let this user in without compromising the entire system. Maybe we can look into temporary backup authentication methods or something.

Appending a URL with a bypass code? That's a new one. I'm curious to see if that actually works, but it also sounds a bit sketchy. Maybe we should look into a more official way to handle this situation.

Maybe we should try altering the user settings to temporarily disable MFA instead.

I agree with Stacey, that seems like the best option to allow the user to log in without revoking their MFA enrollment.

SnowSQL, huh? I guess that's one way to get around the MFA, but it feels a bit like a hack. Shouldn't we have a more elegant solution that still keeps the security intact?

B: Yeah, that sounds like a better solution than using SnowSQL. We need to maintain security while helping the user access the system.

Disabling MFA for 24 hours? Yikes, that seems like a huge security risk. I'd be more comfortable with a temporary solution that doesn't leave the system vulnerable.
