User Authentication and Identity Verification

User authentication and identity verification work together to protect access to Salesforce. User authentication asks users to establish their identity with credentials, such as a username and password. Identity verification is when a user demonstrates ownership of their account by providing evidence, such as a verification code that only the user knows. Protect access to Salesforce with secure authentication and identity verification features such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), single sign-on (SSO), and passwordless login with passkeys.
