Enroll in multi-factor authentication (MFA)

MFA provides increased login security for users connecting to Polaris Catalog™. MFA support is provided as an integrated Polaris Catalog feature, powered by the Duo Security service, which is managed completely by Snowflake.

By default, MFA is not enabled for individual Polaris Catalog users. If you want to use MFA, you must enroll using Polaris Catalog. Enrollment requires a smartphone with a valid phone number and the Duo Mobile application installed.

To enroll in MFA, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to Polaris Catalog.

  2. Select the user menu and then select My profile.

  3. Select Enroll.

  4. Select Start setup.

  5. Follow the instructions provided in the dialog.

After you enroll, each time you attempt to sign in to Polaris Catalog, you are prompted to enter your required user credentials (login name and password) and then prompted for a passcode generated by the Duo Mobile application.
