Import from Salesforce failed with connection error Can not retrieve access token. Make sure you specify proper Instance/My Domain URL

The security token is an automatically generated key that must be added to the end of the password to log in to Salesforce from an untrusted network.Concatenate the password and token when passing the request for authentication.
