Abstract: We present complete characterizations of Toeplitz operators that are complex symmetric. This follows as a by-product of characterizations of conjugations on Hilbert spaces. Notably, we prove that every conjugation admits a canonical factorization. As a consequence, we prove that a Toeplitz operator is complex symmetric if and only if the Toeplitz operator is

-Toeplitz for some unilateral shift

S

and the transpose of the Toeplitz operator matrix is equal to the matrix of the Toeplitz operator corresponding to the basis of the unilateral shift

S

. Also, we characterize complex symmetric Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space over the open unit polydisc. Our results answer the well known open question about characterizations of complex symmetric Toeplitz operators.
