I have code to connect to Snowflake through Python using external browser authentication (authenticator parameter set to 'externalbrowser')

I also have installed snowflake-connector-python version 2.3.5

On my machine running snowflake.connector.connect displays the following message, but doesn't open any browser windows to do the authentication: "Initiating login request with your identity provider. A browser window should have opened for you to complete the login. If you can't see it, check existing browser windows, or your OS settings. Press CTRL+C to abort and try again..."

On my old machine it displays the same message, but opens a browser window to log in. What do you think can be causing this problem, and what can I do to fix this? Am I missing a package?

I ran into the same issue, and do not set parameter "authenticator" to 'externalbrowser', if its optional you can remove this parameter and test.

after i remove "authenticator" parameter from my config file, I was able to authneticate and establish connection to snowflake.
