Use this interactive demo to learn how to reset and retrieve your Salesforce security token in minutes.

Quick summary

A Salesforce security token is a required authentication credential used to access Salesforce APIs and integrations from external applications. You can generate or reset your security token directly from your Salesforce account settings in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. Click your profile icon at the top right corner of the dashboard.
  2. Select 'Settings' from the dropdown menu.
  3. Choose 'Reset My Security Token' from the left side menu.
  4. Click the 'Reset Security Token' button to trigger the reset.
  5. Your security token has been successfully generated and will be sent to your registered email.

📌 Why this matters

A Salesforce security token is essential for authenticating API connections and third-party integrations with your Salesforce org. Without a valid security token, external tools and automation platforms cannot securely access Salesforce data. Knowing how to generate or reset your security token ensures uninterrupted connectivity between Salesforce and the apps your team depends on. This makes it a critical task for Salesforce admins and developers managing integrations.
