API Basics trailhead has incorrect info about getting security token
The "API Basics" trailhead has a chapter on "Use SOAP API". The trailhead has this sentence: "Your security token is emailed to you whenever you reset your password."
When I followed the instructions to reset my password the email sent to me did not have a security token. Instead I had to reset my security token using these instructions:

Once I reset my security token, I received the email with the new token.
I feel the trailhead needs to be updated to instruct users to reset there security token in order to have a new token emailed to you.

Thanks for your feedback, this has been escalated to trailhead team.I would suggest you to always provide the feedback from the feedback link on the same page so that team can get notified.
