# Snowflake Cortex authentication

> Connect UiPath to Snowflake Cortex by providing an account identifier and personal access token.

## Prerequisites

To create a connection, you must provide the following credentials:

* Account Identifier
* Personal Access Token

## Retrieving your credentials

You can extract the account identifier from your Account Details or from the account server's URL. For example, in the URL
`YQXMADF-EWA19151.snowflakecomputing.com` the identifier is `YQXMADF-EWA19151`.

The Personal Access Token (PAT) can be created in the Snowflake dashboard under **Settings** \> **Authentication** \> **Programmatic access tokens**. You will see the PAT option only if your role allows its creation. Contact your administrator for details.
