Lesson: 07 Reset My Security Token

Intro

A security token is an additional layer of security that is added to your password to authenticate your identity when you log in to Salesforce from an untrusted network or client application.

To reset your security token, go to your personal settings by clicking on your profile picture and selecting "Settings." Under the "My Personal Information" section, click on "Reset My Security Token."

You'll receive an email with your new security token. Copy the token and use it in combination with your password the next time you log in to Salesforce from an untrusted network or client application.

It's important to note that resetting your security token will invalidate any existing API sessions. If you're currently logged in to Salesforce using an API session, you'll need to log out and log back in using your new security token.

In conclusion, resetting your security token is an important step to ensure the security of your Salesforce account when logging in from untrusted networks or client applications. Thank you for joining me today. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
