            Multi-Factor Authentication for Salesforce Orgs

            Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a secure authentication method that requires users to verify their identity with a second piece of evidence (or factor) in addition to their password. To protect users from security threats like phishing, credential stuffing, and account takeovers, Salesforce requires MFA for all logins to Salesforce products. MFA is both technically and contractually required. These requirements apply equally to direct logins with a Salesforce username and password and to logins via single sign-on (SSO). Salesforce provides MFA functionality for all Salesforce products.
