Starting in September, email-based login becomes the default login experience for the UI of login.salesforce.com and test.salesforce.com. This update creates a unified login process and simplifies the experience for your users. While your users can still choose to log in with a username and password, prepare them for email to appear as the primary option.
Where: This change applies to the UI login experience on login.salesforce.com and test.salesforce.com. This doesn't impact the My Domain login experience.
When: This feature isn’t part of the initial Spring '26 release and may be included at a later date.This change rolls out gradually starting in September.
Who: This feature is available to users who log in through the UI of login.salesforce.com or test.salesforce.com. The log in with email experience isn’t available for users with a shared email account or users who can’t access emails sent to their email address.
How: Salesforce automatically updates the login pages for login.salesforce.com and test.salesforce.com to the email-based login experience. To use a traditional username and password, your users click Login with Username on the login page. If you don’t require users to log in using My Domain, there is no option to opt out of this default experience on login.salesforce.com or test.salesforce.com. If you have registered Passkeys, they will continue to be supported in the email and username login experiences.
