Security token

Question:

Do I need security token to login?

Answer:

You need to enter your Salesforce user name, password and security token to get connected to Salesforce.  You have to set this on Activation settings.

Salesforce.com security settings require you to use the security token along with your password to login from 3rd party applications using web service APIs.
