How to set up or enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for Salesforce
To keep your Salesforce account secure, enable two-factor authentication (2FA). This page explains how Salesforce 2FA works, which methods Salesforce supports, and how to protect and recover your account. The most secure option is an authenticator app: store your Salesforce 2FA codes in MS Authenticator App and generate a fresh 6-digit code every time you sign in.
2FA methods Salesforce supports
- SMS text message
- Email code
- Authenticator app (TOTP)
- Security key (U2F / WebAuthn)
An authenticator app (TOTP) is the sweet spot: free, offline, and not vulnerable to SIM-swap attacks like SMS.
How to enable or set up 2FA for Salesforce
Salesforce supports two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of protection. Follow our step-by-step Salesforce guide, or read the official Salesforce documentation ↗ for the exact, up-to-date steps.
How to recover your Salesforce account
If you've lost access to your Salesforce account, use the backup codes you saved when enabling 2FA, or contact Salesforce support to regain access. Once you're back in, re-add the account to MS Authenticator App.
