Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between sandbox and production login URLs?

Production Salesforce uses login.salesforce.com while sandbox environments use test.salesforce.com. The sandbox URL is specifically designed for testing and development environments separate from your live data.

Why do I need to append my sandbox name to my username?

Salesforce uses the sandbox name extension to identify which specific sandbox environment you're trying to access. Organizations can have multiple sandboxes, so this naming convention ensures you connect to the correct one.

Is my sandbox password the same as my production password?

Yes, your sandbox password remains the same as your production Salesforce password. Only the username format changes by adding the sandbox name extension after your regular username.
