Two-step verification (2FA) is an authentication method that requires two forms of verification to access your LinkedIn account.
To sign in, you'll need your LinkedIn password plus one of these authentication methods:
Code sent via text message (SMS)
Code from your Authenticator app - LinkedIn's recommended method (to be able to use HeyReach Infinite Login feature, you must choose this method)
By setting up your 2FA, you maximize your account security and add an additional layer of protection from any unauthorized logins. Think of two-step verification like a double-lock system for your LinkedIn account. When you try to sign in from a new device, LinkedIn wants to make sure it's really you. First, you'll enter your password as usual. Then, for extra security, you'll get a special code - either through a text message or your authenticator app (whichever you prefer). Simple and secure.
If you're using the LinkedIn mobile app with notifications turned on, it's even easier. Instead of typing in a code, you'll just get a quick prompt on your phone asking you to confirm it's you.
If you use LinkedIn's premium tools like Recruiter, Campaign Manager, or Sales Navigator, you'll need to set up two-step verification on your main LinkedIn account first. This extra security step is required to protect your professional tools.
