Validate SF username + password + token via dev console or postman

Hi Team,

Our integration team is coming back and stating they are locked out of SF and unable to log in despite having the correct user, pass, & token.  We cross-checked if perhaps there was an issue due to case sensitivity, but we cleared that.  

Before we proceed with resetting the token.  I want to ensure we can validate the existing user name, pass, and token, but i dont know how.  

Is there a way to validate the above via dev console or/and postman? If so, can someone help me the, "how-to" please?

Thank you.
