            Manage Mobile Policies for a Connected App

            Configure policies for mobile connected apps that enforce PIN protection. These policies include setting the length of the connected app’s PIN, and defining how long a session can be idle before requiring re-entry of the PIN.

            Note
            Note Connected apps creation is restricted as of Spring ‘26. You can continue to use existing connected apps during and after Spring ‘26. However, we recommend using external client apps instead. If you must continue creating connected apps, contact Salesforce Support.

            See New connected apps can no longer be created in Spring ‘26 for more details.

            1. From Setup, enter Connected Apps in the Quick Find box, then select Manage Connected Apps.
            2. Click Edit next to the connected app that you are configuring access for.
            3. Under Mobile Integration, select a time value for Require Pin after. This value specifies how long the app can be idle before requiring re-entry of the PIN. The time can be none (no locking), 1, 5, 10, and 30 minutes. This policy is only enforced if a corresponding pin length is configured.
              The connected app is responsible for enforcing this policy. Apps written using the Salesforce Mobile SDK can enforce this policy, or the app can read the policy from the UserInfo service and enforce the policy.
              This policy doesn’t invalidate a user’s session. When the session expires due to inactivity, this policy only requires the user to enter a PIN to continue using the current session.
            4. Select a value for Pin Length. This value sets the length of the identification number sent for authentication confirmation. The length can be from 4 to 8 digits, inclusive.
