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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Two-factor authentication requires you to use more than one form of authentication 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-factor authentication using either SMS or an authenticator app. LinkedIn recommends an authenticator app as the preferred two-factor authentication 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-factor authentication on their own LinkedIn account. If you choose SMS for two-factor authentication, your phone number isn’t visible to or shared with others on the Business Manager account.

If you’re asked to set up two-factor authentication 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-factor authentication which will grant you access to Business Manager.

You’ll be prompted for a authentication 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-factor authentication.
