How to set up or enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for LinkedIn

To keep your LinkedIn account secure, enable two-factor authentication (2FA). This page explains how LinkedIn 2FA works, which methods LinkedIn supports, and how to protect and recover your account. The most secure option is an authenticator app: store your LinkedIn 2FA codes in MS Authenticator App and generate a fresh 6-digit code every time you sign in.

2FA methods LinkedIn supports

  • SMS text message
  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • Proprietary app

An authenticator app (TOTP) is the sweet spot: free, offline, and not vulnerable to SIM-swap attacks like SMS.

How to enable or set up 2FA for LinkedIn

LinkedIn supports two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of protection. Follow our step-by-step LinkedIn guide, or read the official LinkedIn documentation ↗ for the exact, up-to-date steps.

How to recover your LinkedIn account

If you've lost access to your LinkedIn account, use the backup codes you saved when enabling 2FA, or contact LinkedIn support to regain access. Once you're back in, re-add the account to MS Authenticator App.
