    Hi anurag,

    Salesforce security token is a case-sensitive alphanumeric key that is used in combination with a password to access Salesforce via API. The purpose of the token is to improve the security between Salesforce users and Salesforce.com in the case of a compromised account. It ensures, among other things, that if a user’s account credentials are compromised, a third party wouldn’t be able to access Salesforce via API or from an untrusted network.

    Thanks.

    Hello Anurag,

    The main feature of the token is to improve the security between Salesforce users and Salesforce.com in the case of a compromised account. Salesforce security token is a case-sensitive alphanumeric key that is used in combination with a password to access Salesforce via API.

    Thanks.
