Snowflake: upcoming MFA enforcement and removal of Custom authentication

Snowflake is enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all users and removing password access for service accounts as part of Phase 3 of their strong authentication rollout, rolling out between August and October 2026.

Ahead of this enforcement, the Custom (password-based) authentication method will be removed from the Snowflake connector starting with July 20, 2026.

What you need to do: Existing connections using Custom authentication will continue working until Snowflake applies enforcement to your account. Recreate all connections that use Custom authentication with one of the following supported methods:

• OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code — recommended for human users
• RSA Key Pair — recommended for service/unattended scenarios
• Personal Access Token — alternative for programmatic access

For setup instructions, see Snowflake authentication.

MCP connector (Preview)

The MCP connector is now available in Preview. It is a universal connector that connects to any remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and dynamically invokes the tools that server exposes — from your RPA, API Workflow, and Maestro automations.

You create the connection once, authenticating with OAuth 2.0 (Authorization code, Authorization code with PKCE, or Client Credentials) or a Personal Access Token, and Integration Service handles connection, credential management, and governance centrally.

For more information, refer to About the MCP connector.
