Custom Login Flows

Login flows allow administrators to build post-authentication processes to match their business practices, associate the flow with a user profile, and send the user through that flow when logging in. Use login flows to collect registration information from users, provide a terms of service acceptance form, prompt the user for a second factor of authentication, and other customization.
Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

Use the Flow Designer to create login flows, and then associate those flows with specific profiles in your organization. You can connect the same flow to multiple profiles. Users with the profile are directed to the login flow after they authenticate, but before the user is directed to the organization’s content. The login flow screens are embedded within the standard Salesforce login page for an integrated user login experience.

Example of a user's Login Flow
Login flows support all the Salesforce user interface authentication methods, including username and password, delegated authentication, SAML single sign-on, and social sign-on through a third-party authentication provider. You can apply login flows to Salesforce organizations, communities, and portals.

You can’t apply login flows to API logins or when sessions are passed to the UI through frontdoor.jsp from a non-UI login process. Only flows of type Flow are supported.
