What enhancements are being made to authentication and access management?

Snowflake is introducing:

• New MFA Methods: Passkey support (Touch ID, FaceID, Windows Hello, security keys) and authenticator apps (generally available).
• Programmatic Access Tokens (PATs): (Generally available) A drop-in replacement for passwords, helping to eliminate static credentials, especially for BI apps not yet supporting MFA.
• Workload Identity Federation: (Generally available soon) Allows applications and services to authenticate securely without managing their own long-lived credentials.
