By resetting their security token via the Salesforce UI.

In Salesforce, users can obtain a security token by following the steps below:

  1. Log in to the Salesforce organization using their username and password.
  2. Click on their user profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen and select "Settings".
  3. From the left-hand menu, select "Personal" and then click on "Reset My Security Token".
  4. Click on the "Reset Security Token" button to generate a new security token.
  5. Salesforce will send an email to the user's registered email address containing the new security token.
  6. The user can then copy the security token from the email and use it for API integrations or for logging in to Salesforce from an external application.

It is important to note that security tokens are required for accessing Salesforce through API integrations, such as when using the Salesforce Mobile App, Salesforce for Outlook, or any other application that connects to Salesforce using the API. Security tokens expire after a certain period of time, so users may need to regenerate a new security token periodically.
