• Salesforce Authenticator mobile app : Fast free authentication sfdc.co/IntrotoAuthenticator
• Third-Party Authenticator App : Such as: Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy
• Security Key : Such as: Yubico’s Yubi Key Google’s Titan Security Key

Not Supported below option

• SMS (Text) verification : Two-factor authentication by SMS is a less secure option, and is available to use only with communities, partners, and customers. Contact Salesforce Customer Support to enable
• Email verification

Salesforce Authenticator

Salesforce Authenticator is a mobile app that can be used with MFA in your Salesforce org or tenant, driving a seamless user experience for your end users. Salesforce Authenticator tells the user:

• What action needs to be approved
• What user is requesting the action
• From which service is the requested action coming
• What device the user is using
• From what location would the user approve or deny this request

With this information, the user can simply tap the “Approve” or “Deny” button to execute the decision, completing authentication quickly as part of their login process.
