Turn Two-Step Verification
Two-step verification requires a person 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. Two-step verification can greatly reduce identity theft and unauthorized access to sensitive information since most accounts become compromised from new or unknown computers or devices.
Two step verification gives you additional security by requiring a verification code whenever you sign in on new device.
Turning this feature on will sign you out anywhere you’re currently signed in and remove all your remembered devices. It will also remove the access you may have provided to any partner or services.
Your phone number helps us keep your account secure by adding an additional layer of verification. It also helps others, who already have your phone number, discover and connect with you. You can always decide how you want your phone number used.
If you’ve chosen to use app-based verification, follow the steps below:
1. Install an authenticator app such as "Microsoft Authenticator".
2. Open the app and tap "Add Account".
3. Select "Other" account on Microsoft Authenticator.
4. Setup your device by choosing to:
4.1. Scan QR Code: Use the Scanning Tool found within the Authenticator App.
4.2. Enter the Verification Code: Enter the secret key into the Authenticator App.
5. Enter the 6-digit verification code generated by your authenticator app to verify your device.
Now your device is ready for two-step authentication. Whenever you log in from a new device, open your Authenticator app and enter the code when prompted.

How LinkedIn Uses Your Phone Number
If you've provided us with your phone number, we may use it for the following reasons:
1. To help secure your account if we detect suspicious activity.
If you add your phone number to enable two-step verification, we'll send a verification code to your phone if we detect an unusual sign-in attempt.
2. To prevent abuse.
If we suspect potential abuse, we can ask you to provide your phone number as an additional verification to prove you're a real person. Learn more about security verification.
3. To help you reset your password.
When you add a mobile phone number to your account , we'll automatically enable it for this purpose.
4. To help others find you.
If someone uploads their address book and your phone number is included, we may suggest them as a connection. Other permitted services may also look up your profile using your email address or phone number. You can always decide how you want your phone number used.
Note: Your phone number won't appear on your profile unless you add it to the Contact Info section on your profile. Carrier charges may apply. Contact your phone provider for details.
