Username and password? Really? In this day and age? Next you'll tell me Snowpipe uses carrier pigeons to transfer data. Key-based is the way to go, my dudes.

Hmm, I'd say it's Single Sign-On (SSO). Snowflake is all about that enterprise-level security, you know? Who needs usernames and passwords these days?
