Account security best practices

Last updated: 10 months ago

Below are recommendations to keep your account secure:

  1. Use a strong password.

    • The password should be unique to each account.
    • The password should be a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters.
    • The password should be at least 8 characters long.
    • The password should not contain your name, phone number, or email address.

  2. Keep your passwords safe and private to ensure that no other person has access to them. Consider using a password manager.

  3. Turn on two-step verification on your LinkedIn account for an extra layer of account security.

  4. Only connect with people you know and trust.

  5. Turn on a multi-factor authentication (MFA), like two-step verification, for the email address associated with your LinkedIn account.

  6. Report safety concerns, like phishing or suspicious messages.

  7. Keep your antivirus software up to date.
