Qlik Replicate and Snowflake: Mandated Multifactor Authentication (MFA) starting Q3 2025

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

Hello, Qlik Replicate admins,

Beginning in Q3 2025, Snowflake will mandate Multifactor Authentication (MFA). For detailed information and a timetable, see FAQ: Snowflake Will Block Single-Factor Password Authentication by November 2025.

How will this affect Qlik Replicate?

Unless MFA has been set up, this change will impact connectivity to Qlik Replicate.

How do I prepare for the change?

To mitigate the impact, switch to Key Pair Authentication. Key Pair Authentication is available by default starting with Qlik Replicate 2024.05.

For more information, see Setting general connection parameters.

If an upgrade is currently not feasible, review How to setup Key Pair Authentication in Snowflake and How to configure this enhanced security mechan... for a possible workaround to apply Key Pair Authentication.

If you have any questions, we're happy to assist. Reply to this blog post or take similar queries to the Qlik Replicate forum.

 

Thank you for choosing Qlik,

We have Qlik Replicate without Snowflake, does this impact us?

Hi @RAFFYUY27 

No, only users with Snowflake target need to make this change.

Thanks,

Dana
