White List IP Address for Data Loader access with no Security Token

Just found out that if you white list your IP address in a Salesforce org you do not need a security token to use APEX Data Loader. If a login is shared and the email address associated with the login is someone hard to reach, you can just do this and bypass getting a security token to load data!

Setup > Your Name > Security Controls > Network Access > New

Make the Start and End IP address your personal PC's IP address.

Note: You can do a google search of 'Whats my ip' to get your computer's ip address.

Once this is done when you login to data loader still use your username, but rather than using passwordSECURITYTOKEN as the password, all you need is the password.
