Description

Salesforce Authenticator adds an extra layer of security for your online accounts with multi-factor authentication (also known as two-factor authentication). With Salesforce Authenticator, you use your mobile device to verify your identity when logging in to your account or performing critical actions. The app sends you a push notification, and you approve or deny the activity with just a tap. For even more convenience, Salesforce Authenticator can use your mobile device’s location services to automatically approve account activity that you trust. The app also provides one-time verification codes for use while you’re offline or have low connectivity.

Use Salesforce Authenticator to secure all your online accounts that support time-based one-time passwords (TOTP). Any service that allows multi-factor authentication using an “Authenticator app” is compatible with Salesforce Authenticator.

Location Data & Privacy
If you enable location-based automation in Salesforce Authenticator, rest assured that Salesforce never tracks your location or shares it with anyone. Location data is stored securely on your mobile device, never in the cloud. You can delete all location data from your device or turn off location services at any time. Learn more about how the app uses location data in Salesforce Help.

Battery Usage
Rather than getting precise location updates, Salesforce Authenticator only receives updates when you enter or leave the approximate area, or “geofence,” of a location that you trust. By minimizing the frequency of location updates, Salesforce Authenticator conserves your mobile device’s battery life. To reduce battery usage even more, you can turn off location services and stop automating your activity.

FREE CLOUD STORAGE OF YOUR 2FA Accounts

I usually don’t write reviews by putting my time but this app deserves this review.
I previously trusted Microsoft authenticator and loaded all my accounts but after resetting my phone, I got Fkd because I don’t pay for my icloud backup and it microsoft authenticator is not backed up.
Salesforce Authenticator automatically backsup all your accounts with your phone number as a login id.
even though you buy a new phone or reset your phone, if u have your phone number and passcode, your 2FA accounts are all safe.

Unacceptable trusted device handling

This app is horribly intrusive and inconvenient. The only way it will remember a trusted device is if location tracking is set to “Always allow.” This is due to the way the authenticator handles registered devices: it is based on geographic location, so I see the street address of the sign-in attempt. I never permit any apps to “always track” my location and it seems outrageous that this would be necessary in order for Salesforce Authenticator to do something as simple as remember a trusted computer. I’ve never encountered another authenticator app with this behavior. Users are left with the poor choice of either permitting the app to track them at all times (as an aside, this is poor handling because the location icon is always visible in the iOS status bar, which is its own annoyance), or to manually approve the sign-in attempt every single time. Truly noxious app behavior.

Frustrating experience if pairing this with SF Chrome extension for Gmail

The Authenticator functions but might require a heavy lift to get it there and it doesn’t play well with all SF access points. If you’re logging in to SF via a browser, the Authenticator is straightforward. If you’re trying to use SF extension for Gmail it’s amateur. Sometimes you have to uninstall and reinstall the extension entirely because even after you click Approve on the app, it won’t let you in on the Extension. Have had to reinstall twice within first three weeks. If you have already authenticated your device and logged in to SF in a browser, you still have to do it again on the same device to get into the Extension. The functional but amateur fix is to authenticate on the browser experience first, then on the extension, otherwise you’ll click approve on the app again and again, but you won’t be able to get in.
