Features of the Browser Fingerprint
A browser fingerprint is a collection of features that together identify a device.
Salesforce uses these features to build a model of the user’s original browser fingerprint
when they logged in. Salesforce uses this model to detect whether a user’s session was
hijacked.
Available in both Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning Experience. |
Available in: Enterprise, Unlimited, and
Developer Editions Requires Salesforce Shield or Salesforce Event Monitoring add-on subscriptions. |
