Snowflake Docs

The rule that username and login name for a user is different increases account security.

How to Remediate

To update existing username or login name values, execute the ALTER USER command. When creating new users with the CREATE USER command, ensure that the NAME and LOGIN_NAME values are different.

ALTER USER <user_name> SET LOGIN_NAME = <string>;
CREATE USER <user_name> LOGIN_NAME = <string>;
