Two-step verification is required to help enhance the security of your account. Two-step verification requires that a person use more than one form of verification to access an account, usually by “knowing something” such as a password and by “having something” such as a mobile device.

By adding two-step verification to your account, together we can help LinkedIn stay a safe, trusted, and professional platform.

If you’ve already turned two-step verification on, you’re not required to take any additional action at this time.

If you haven’t turned two-step verification on, you’ll see a prompt in your LinkedIn desktop or mobile app with instructions to turn two-step verification on.

You’re all set. Two-step verification applies to both your Linkedin.com and Business Manager accounts.

Because two-step verification is enabled at the individual LinkedIn account level, you’ll also need to enable two-step verification for your LinkedIn account. Each person using Business Manager needs to enable two-step verification.

You’ll continue to be prompted to set up two-step verification. You won’t be able to access Business Manager without first enabling two-step verification.

Two-step verification requires you to use more than one form of verification to access an account, usually by "knowing something" such as a password and by "having something" such as a mobile device.

You can select from two options: phone number (SMS) or an authenticator app.

Yes, you can set up two-step verification using either SMS or an authenticator app. LinkedIn recommends an authenticator app as the preferred two-step verification method.  

If you use an authenticator app, you’ll need to manually enter a code when prompted. QR codes are not currently available.

No, each Business Manager user must enable two-step verification on their own LinkedIn account. If you choose SMS for two-step verification, your phone number isn’t visible to or shared with others on the Business Manager account.

If you’re asked to set up two-step verification or to reauthenticate and you don’t have your phone, please contact us for further assistance. You’ll be asked to confirm your identity prior to access being restored. You can then re-enable two-step verification which will grant you access to Business Manager.

You’ll be prompted for a verification code when you log in (sometimes on trusted devices, always on new devices).

You can check your current setup in your account settings at any time.

No, all Business Manager customers are required to use two-step verification.
