In this quick and essential Salesforce tutorial, you’ll learn how to create or reset your Salesforce security token — a critical step when connecting Salesforce to third-party applications like MuleSoft, Postman, Data Loader, or other integrations that use the Salesforce API.

If you're facing login errors, getting "invalid password" messages, or setting up a new integration, chances are you need a valid security token. This video will walk you through the process of generating or resetting your token step-by-step.

🔒 What Is a Security Token in Salesforce?
A security token is a case-sensitive alphanumeric key Salesforce generates for your account. It's required when accessing Salesforce from untrusted networks or via API tools that don't support OAuth. You append it to your password (e.g., PasswordSecurityToken) when logging in through these tools.

🔐 Troubleshooting Tips:

Check your email spam/junk folder or ensure your email is verified in Salesforce.
✅ Using OAuth-based integration?
You might not need a security token if you're authenticating with a connected app using OAuth 2.0.
✅ Token reset automatically?
Changing your password can also invalidate your old token — you’ll need to generate a new one!
