Step Two: Create the Encrypted Password

Create the encrypted password using the key file that you generated in the previous step. Skip this step if you’re using OAuth for login authentication.

The Data Loader command-line interface is supported for Windows only.

  1. In the same command prompt window, enter the following command.

    encrypt.bat -e <password><Salesforce_Security_Token> <key path>

    Replace <password> with the password that you use to log in to Salesforce in Data Loader combined with your org’s security token (no space in between). Replace <key file path> with the file path you created in the previous step.

    For example, if your Data Loader password is myP4sswordsRock and your org’s security token is 00DE0X0A0M0PeLE!AQcAQH0dMHEXAM, then the command is:

  2. Copy the generated encrypted password string. You use this value in a later step.
