LinkedIn Restriction/Invalid Password/Verification Code

Verification Code:

Sometimes LinkedIn requests the client to perform a verification check. This usually happens when LinkedIn identifies the Client’s account being accessed by multiple IP addresses &/or locations within a short period of time. Be sure to check your VPN connection. If you were not connected, reestablish your connection & try to log into the account again.If you were connected to the VPN or you receive the pop-up message again, notify the VA Supervisor. He/She will let you know if you should try again later or tomorrow. 

Automation Tools:

If LinkedIn notices activity that looks like an automation system is being used, you will be asked to verify that automation is not being used on the account. Click “Agree to comply” & slow down or mix-up the tasks that you are doing within the acct. 

Invalid Password:

Occasionally clients will change their LinkedIn password & forget to tell us. If you get a “wrong password” notification, let the VA Supervisor know. We will reach out to the Client for the updated password information or ask the Client to update & reshare the LastPass Card. 

Restricted Account:

This is the worst warning message that we can get. There’s to big mistakes that cause this type of restriction:

1. Working in the account without the VPN connections (most common & a reason for termination).

2. Working in the account at the same time as the client. 

Notify the VA Supervisor immediately, when this happens & send a screenshot. We will need to work with the Client to upload their photo ID and answer a series of questions that come from LinkedIn to the Client. You will not be able to work in the Client’s account until the restriction is lifted. The process often take 1-2 weeks.
