A sample command is given in the below screen shot. There's a special feature where the first IP you log in from in a given org is automatically 'trusted', but if your IP address changes, or if you've never logged in before, the Security Token will be required until the IP is trusted by adding it to the Trusted Network settings.***********************************************************************ĪNT Stands for “Another Neat Tool”, this tool is used in Salesforce for migration of the components from one environment to another say for example “SIT” org to “UAT” org or DEV to SIT or even for production orgs, using the xml files that we will build which contains the required components that we want to migrate.ĪNT tool basically runs in the command prompt, we need to run the required commands to accomplish our task. If you've never logged in from a given IP in a particular Sandbox, you'll need your Security Token, even if you've logged in to other Sandbox environments before. The system is working as designed, and you must follow the rules in order to use the API.Īnd yes, this applies from Sandbox to Sandbox. Either way, you will need to take some sort of action to fix the problem. You need to either use the Security Token (you can go in to Personal Setup to generate a new one), or add your IP address to the Trusted Networks area in Setup. Try deleting your cookies, and you'll find you probably need a new 5-digit code sent to your email or phone. Browsers don't use this because they get a special authentication cookie that remembers that you've authenticated before from that browser. If you're not in the 'trusted network', Security Tokens apply to you for all API logins. You only need this for API logins, not browser-based logins. A randomly generated 25-character extension to your password. You can't 'activate' an API login, so a different mechanism is in play.

The API, including the Apex Data Loader, ANT Migration Toolkit, etc, uses a different authentication mechanism. Browser-based logins never require a Security Token. If you've ever had to check your email or phone for a five digit code to log in, that's the alternative to Security Tokens for non-API logins. Once you've logged in, you don't need to 'activate' the browser again.

Logging in to the UI is a browser-based authentication. SFDX uses OAuth, which is a browser-based authentication.
