Question
What authentication method does "Sign in using username & password" use in Salesforce Connector?
Environment
Tableau Desktop 2020.3 and older versions
Salesforce
Answer
In Tableau Desktop 2020.3 and older, there was option for signing in using username and password as well as OAuth authentication. From Tableau Desktop 2020.4, it is OAuth authentication only for Salesforce connector. There is no option for username/credential authentication. The option for Signing in with username and password is not provided. This is as designed.
