The salesforce login is a web page where
licensed users enter their name and password to gain access to the sales cloud,
service cloud, chatter, online help and force.com (for the salesforce
administrator to customize and manage the system.)
There are some nuances of the salesforce login
that users should be made aware of. First, if you attempt to login to salesforce
with the wrong username or password a pre-determined number of times in a rapid
succession you will be locked out of the system for a much longer time. These
parameters are managed by the salesforce administrator. If this happens or you
forget your password, your administrator will have to reset your password. This
is accomplished by the system sending you an email with a temporary code which
you then change to a new password. You also need to change your salesforce login
periodically (once again defined by your salesforce administrator) for security
purposes. Salesforce supports the new 2-stage password scheme that involves
sending an email to your smart phone for verification (and much improved
security.) Because of the sensitive nature of your pipeline (which you would not
want to fall into a competitor’s hands) we recommend that you adopt the 2-phase
system for all users.
In addition, if you attempt a salesforce login
from a new computer or other device, you will need to get a security token from
salesforce to append to your password. This is also true for a salesforce login
attempt from your smart phone. Luckily the token can be cut and pasted into your
password to make the process easier. Although this makes the salesforce login
process a little more cumbersome at first, the added security in today’s world
of corporate espionage is well worth the effort.
