Salesforce provides a **Security Token** for all their registered users. A security token is an **automatically generated key** provided by the Salesforce. Salesforce understands the confidentiality of their customer’s information that is vital to their business operations and success. \

## We can get the Security Token by following two steps:

### Step 1: is when we change the password of our account then a confirmation sent to the registered mail with the “Security token”, just like the below screenshot:
