Any update on Key Value Pairs for PBI/Snowflake  This was the update from Chris Webb on Dec 7, 2023 where he was collaborating with MS and Snowflake, noting support for KV Pairs? 

 

Strong Authentication: Snowflake recently announced plans to deprecate single-factor password authentication (see the timeline). Power BI already supports External OAuth for connecting to Snowflake (more on this here). Snowflake continues to work diligently with Microsoft to add additional strong authentication options between Power BI and Snowflake, which we expect to be released throughout 2025, including support for key-pair (although we already see many Power BI customers using programmatic access tokens for authentication).
