Salesforce Authenticator provides multi-factor authentication (MFA) to secure your online accounts. It allows you to verify your identity when logging in or performing critical actions by sending push notifications to your mobile device, which you can approve or deny with a tap.
The app adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification beyond just a password. This can be through approving a push notification or by using one-time verification codes, making it much harder for unauthorized users to access your accounts.
Yes, Salesforce Authenticator is a free application. There are no costs associated with downloading or using its core multi-factor authentication features.
You can use Salesforce Authenticator to secure any online account that supports time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) or allows multi-factor authentication using a generic 'Authenticator app'.
If enabled, the app uses your device's location services to automatically approve account activity from trusted locations. Salesforce states that location data is stored securely on your device, never shared, and can be deleted or turned off at any time.
