Support key-based authentication

[casey-largent]

Both the Python and Java implementations support the use of Public/Private key pairs. This should be available in this connector as well.

Already in the JIRA but didn't have a chance to implement it.

Hello! Do we have an estimation of when this will be implemented? Or is this not a high priority feature that would like be taken care of in the near future?

Curious if we could have an update on this issue. I believe that only having plaintext user/password credentials as an authentication method is not very secure.

We are working on external browser authentication support with key-pair auth to follow soon afterwards. External browser auth should be released within the next two releases. We don't have a firm timeline on when key-pair auth is going to be released. But I will update here when there we have a better idea.

(of course timelines are subject to change)

Looks like the latest version support key pair auth: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/nodejs-driver-use.html#using-key-pair-authentication-key-pair-rotation
