Actual exam question for Snowflake's ADA-C01 exam

Question #: 6
Topic #: 6

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?

AAlter the user and set MINS TO BYPASS MFA to a value that will disable MFA long enough for the user to log in.

BAlter the user and set DISABLE_MFA to true, which will suspend the MFA requirement for 24 hours.

CInstruct the user to connect to Snowflake using SnowSQL, which does not support MFA authentication.

DInstruct the user to append the normal URL with /?mode=mfa_bypass&code= to log on.

Show Suggested 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
