LOGIN_MUST_USE_SECURITY_TOKEN Error

Hello All,
 
Can anyone tell me when was security token introduced in Apex API? I missed this news I guess hence someone reported login failure error.  
 
When I debugged the code I got LOGIN_MUST_USE_SECURITY_TOKEN error and I learnt that login process requires password + security token to do the succesfull login.
 
Thanks

I don't have the exact date to hand, it was about 1 month ago.

the security token is only need for API logins from un-trusted IP addresses.

Hi Simon,
 
Thanks for the reply. Can u tell me more about untrusted IP address? I have one account which works without the security token but another client account doesn't work without security token. How is that possible? Confused now.
 
Thanks again,

You can configure the list of trusted IPs in the app, under setup -> security

Hi Simon,
 
I think you mean Setup -> Security Controls -> Network access....right? I have typed my machine IP address for start and end IP address but I still get the message if i do not pass security token to the login.
 
Am I missing something here?
 
Thanks again,

Does login history show the Same IP address, as what you think your IP address is ?

Hi Simon,

Yes the login history IP address is in the IP address range i give in Network Access. Still it doesn't work, does it take some time to recognize the trusted IP address?

Hi Simon,

Please ignore the last reply. I was overlooking the error description in the login history and the password was mistyped. Now it is working for me.

I appreciate your help,
