How to Use & Reset Security Tokens Follow
Your Security Token is an auto-generated key that is used in combination with your password to enter Propertybase from an untrusted network or log into a 3rd party application. The token is required whether you log in to the application via API or a desktop client. A couple of examples of 3rd party applications are: Salesforce for Outlook, Apex Data Loader, Word Mail Merge, Excel Connector, etc..
Logging in with your security token is simple, just add it to your password when entering your credentials. For example, if your password = abc123 and your security token = XXXXXX111133333XXXXXX, you will need to type in your password as = abc123XXXXXX111133333XXXXXX
You receive a new security token whenever you change your email address or password in Propertybase. Once you have been issued a security token, you have the option to reset this security token at any time. See steps below on how to do that:
