LinkedIn Login by Phone Number or Email

LinkedIn lets you sign in with an email address or phone number already linked to your account. Enter the registered email or linked mobile number with your LinkedIn password, then complete any security check shown.

Can I log in to LinkedIn by phone number or email?

The LinkedIn sign-in field accepts an email address or phone number associated with the account. A mobile number must already be added to the LinkedIn account; entering an unrelated number will not identify the account.

“LinkedIn login by phone number” and “LinkedIn login by mobile number” refer to the same option. A registered email address is another sign-in identifier, so you can use it instead of the linked number.

• Use a linked and confirmed mobile number when signing in by phone.
• Use any email address currently associated with the account when signing in by email.
• Use the account password with either identifier.
• Complete an additional security prompt only if LinkedIn displays one.

If you are already signed in on another device, review the email addresses and phone numbers under Sign in & security in Settings & Privacy. This can help you confirm which details belong to the account before you sign out.

How do I sign in to LinkedIn by phone or mobile number?

A LinkedIn login by mobile number works only when that number is associated with the account. Have the linked phone available in case LinkedIn asks for an authentication code or displays another identity check.

1. Open the company’s official website and select Sign in.
2. In the Email or phone field, enter the mobile number linked to the LinkedIn account.
3. Enter the LinkedIn password. Passwords are case-sensitive, so check capital letters before continuing.
4. Select Sign in.
5. If LinkedIn presents a security check, follow the instructions on the screen. Depending on the account and sign-in attempt, this may involve a code or a prompt in the LinkedIn app.

Do not expect every sign-in to produce a code. LinkedIn may request phone verification when it detects possible unauthorized access or needs to confirm that the person signing in is not an automated system.

If the number is rejected, check that you selected or entered the correct country information, that every digit is correct, and that the number is the one saved on the account. Follow the formatting shown in the sign-in field rather than repeatedly trying different numbers.

How do I sign in to LinkedIn by email?

A LinkedIn login by email uses an email address registered on the account and the same account password used with a linked phone number.

1. Open the LinkedIn sign-in screen.
2. Enter an email address associated with the account in the Email or phone field.
3. Enter the LinkedIn password.
4. Select Sign in.
5. Complete any security prompt that LinkedIn displays.

Check the full email address carefully, including the part after the at sign. If the account has more than one associated email address, another registered address may work even when you can no longer open the primary email inbox.

An email address is not automatically a LinkedIn login merely because it belongs to you. LinkedIn must recognize it as an address associated with that specific account.

What should I do if my LinkedIn login details do not work?

Read the message on the LinkedIn sign-in screen before trying again. It can help separate an identifier problem from a password or verification problem.

• Unrecognized email: Check for typing errors and try another email address that you previously added to the same account.
• Unrecognized phone number: Confirm the country information and digits, and make sure the number was actually linked to the account.
• Incorrect password: Check capitalization and avoid relying on an outdated password saved by the browser or password manager. Use Forgot password if you are uncertain.
• Code does not arrive: Confirm that you can receive messages at the displayed destination, check an email spam or junk folder when applicable, and use an available resend or alternative verification option shown by LinkedIn.
• App prompt is missing: Open the LinkedIn app on the recognized device and check its internet connection. If LinkedIn offers verification by text message, select that option.
• Unexpected security prompt: Follow only the choices on LinkedIn’s own screen. Never give another person your password or authentication code.

If you receive an approval prompt for a sign-in or password reset you did not start, deny the request and secure the account rather than approving it.

How do I recover access to my LinkedIn account?

LinkedIn’s official recovery process begins with Forgot password on the sign-in screen. An authentication code is a temporary code used to confirm control of an email address or phone number.

1. Select Forgot password.
2. Enter an email address or phone number associated with the LinkedIn account.
3. Choose an available delivery method if LinkedIn offers a choice.
4. Enter the authentication code sent to the registered email address or phone.
5. Complete any additional security challenge displayed for the account.
6. Create a new password and use it to sign in.

If you cannot access any associated email address or phone number, select the option indicating that you cannot access the displayed method. LinkedIn may ask for a new email address and may require identity verification. Follow the official recovery instructions and provide only the information requested on LinkedIn’s screen.

Identity verification can involve additional evidence, but the exact requirement depends on the recovery path presented. Submitting a recovery request does not guarantee a particular completion time, so monitor the email address you supplied and respond to official instructions.

How can I contact LinkedIn Support about a login problem?

Use the LinkedIn Help Center for official support. LinkedIn states that it does not offer a customer-support phone number, so do not call numbers presented elsewhere as LinkedIn support.

If you can sign in, open the Help Center, choose Contact us, and use the support chat or other options presented for your account. The help assistant may answer the question first and provide ways to reach the support team when additional assistance is needed.

If you cannot sign in, start with Forgot password and the account-recovery choices on the sign-in screen. These options are designed for lost passwords and loss of access to a registered email address or phone number. Never disclose your password, authentication code, or remote access to your device to someone claiming to provide LinkedIn support.
