How to Get Security Token in Salesforce

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

Quick summary

A Salesforce security token is a required credential for authenticating API connections and third-party integrations. You can reset your security token directly from Salesforce Settings in just a few clicks, and the new token will be emailed to your registered address.


Steps

  1. Click on your avatar in the top right corner of Salesforce.
  2. Select Settings from the dropdown menu.
  3. In the Quick Find box, type "Reset" and choose Reset My Security Token under Personal Information.
  4. Click Reset Security Token to generate and email your new token.
  5. Check your email inbox for the newly issued security token from Salesforce.

📌 Why this matters

A Salesforce security token is essential for authenticating API calls, enabling third-party integrations, and connecting external tools like data loaders or CRM sync platforms to your Salesforce org. Without a valid security token, developers and admins cannot establish secure programmatic access to Salesforce data. Knowing how to reset your Salesforce security token quickly minimizes downtime when credentials expire or are lost. This process is a foundational Salesforce administration task that every user managing integrations or API access needs to master.
