Different types of LinkedIn authentication
2-STEP verification
2-STEP verification
Two-factor authentication on LinkedIn is an additional security measure that requires not only a password to access your account but also a second form of verification. Typically, this second verification takes the form of a unique code sent to your mobile phone via SMS or generated by an authentication app.
1️⃣ Verification by SMS:
Once you have entered your LinkedIn credentials and LinkedIn has verified that they are correct, this pop-up will appear.
You will receive a 6-digits code,
Then, enter the 6-digits code from “Settings” and “Cloud”.
2️⃣ Verification by an authentication app
A code is generated on your Authenticator App,
You need to validate the code.
If your 2-steps verification is deactivated:
You will receive a verification code on your email address,
Then, enter the 6-digits code from “Settings” and “Cloud” or directly from your home page.
Mobile app verification
Mobile app verification
When you try to connect to the Cloud, LinkedIn will ask you to verify your identity using your phone:
1️⃣ From your Waalaxy account, click one “Verify”
2️⃣ From your phone
You'll receive a notification on your LinkedIn mobile app once you've entered your credentials.
LinkedIn will ask you, "Are you trying to sign in to another device? No, it’s not me/Yes, it’s me".
⚠️ Note that if you're logging into LinkedIn from a computer, LinkedIn will prompt you to check your notifications on your LinkedIn mobile app.
