When logging in to a Salesforce account from a new device or browser, Salesforce may prompt for a verification code sent by email. The same email verification process occurs when resetting a Salesforce password.
In some cases, password reset emails are delivered successfully, but Salesforce login verification code emails are not received by the user.
Important distinction:
support@salesforce.com.noreply@salesforce.com.This article focuses on troubleshooting the Salesforce Login Verification Email specifically. If you are troubleshooting a different type of Salesforce verification email (such as User Email Address Verification), see the Additional Resources section.
Note: Salesforce will never proactively ask for your login credentials or request access to your Salesforce instance by email or phone. If you receive a suspicious message or call claiming to be from Salesforce, report it immediately at security.salesforce.com/contact.
Use the following steps to identify why Salesforce login verification emails are not being received.
The first step is to request an email log file from Salesforce Setup to determine whether the verification email was sent successfully by Salesforce or whether a delivery failure occurred.
Check the email logs in Salesforce to track email sending and delivery status.
If the email log file shows that Salesforce delivered the verification email successfully to the recipient's mail server, the delivery issue is occurring after Salesforce's handoff. This means the email may be filtered by the customer's mail server or spam filter.
In this case:
noreply@salesforce.com.noreply@salesforce.com.If the customer successfully receives password reset emails (from support@salesforce.com) but not login verification emails (from noreply@salesforce.com), this strongly suggests a filtering rule that blocks noreply@salesforce.com specifically. Ask the customer to allowlist noreply@salesforce.com with their email provider.
