How to Activate 2-Factor Authentication on Linkedin
Two-factor authentication is an extra layer of security to protect your account on websites/applications. Instead of only entering a password to log in, you’ll also enter a code or use a security key. This additional step helps make sure that only you can access your account and prevent someone else from getting into your account.
Because your password is no longer enough to secure your account, we recommend you to use MYOTPS. MYOTPS is a one-stop authenticator similar to Google Authenticator that helps to increase your security dramatically and decrease threats from someone who tries to steal your account. Every time you want to login to your account, you’ll be asked to enter a 6-digit verification code from MYOTPS that only you can get in your device.
MYOTPS has an advantage even your device is lost or broken, you can backup and restore your 2FA, as long you remember your phone number and passwords registered in the MYOTPS system. You can download MYOTPS on Google Play [Download MYOTPS]
