New and Updated Security Alerts for OAuth Flows

To discourage users from connecting unfamiliar third-party apps to Salesforce, we added security alerts for OAuth flows. These security alerts appear when a user connects a device to Salesforce via the OAuth 2.0 device flow. We also updated the security alert on the page where users authorize access to their data via OAuth 2.0 flows.

Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) in all editions.

How: During the device flow, users are prompted to enter a code from the device or app that they're connecting. We added a security alert to the page where users enter their code (1), to the page that indicates a successful connection (2), and to the page that indicates a denied connection (3).

If your external client app or connected app doesn't have a logo, Salesforce uses this default logo for the graphics above the warnings: Default app icon for OAuth pages. To brand these graphics, update the Logo Image URL in your app settings.
