LinkedIn Login and New Account Sign Up

Use LinkedIn Log In for an account you already have, or choose Join Now to create your first LinkedIn account. If you cannot sign in, use LinkedIn’s password-reset or account-recovery options instead of opening another account.

Have your email address or phone number ready before starting. You may also need access to that email inbox or phone so LinkedIn can verify your identity.

How do I open the LinkedIn login page?

1. Open the company’s official website and select Sign In.
2. Enter the email address or phone number connected to your LinkedIn account.
3. Enter your LinkedIn password.
4. Select Sign In to continue.
5. Complete any security or identity check shown on the screen.

The LinkedIn login online sign-up screen may show both sign-in and registration choices. For an existing account, stay with Sign In even if Join Now or another sign-up prompt is more noticeable.

Check the spelling of your email address before submitting the form. If you use a phone number, include the correct country selection when the form requests it. Do not share your password or verification code with anyone.

How do I create a new LinkedIn account?

1. Open the company’s official website and select Join Now.
2. Enter the email address requested on the registration screen, or choose an available phone-based option if one is displayed.
3. Create a password that you do not use for another account.
4. Enter the required name and profile information accurately.
5. Complete the verification steps sent to your email address or phone.
6. Review the information, then finish the registration prompts shown on the screen.

Verification is a security check used to confirm that you control the email address or phone number entered during registration. The exact LinkedIn online account sign-up screens can vary, so follow the labels displayed on your device.

Use your own contact information and provide accurate details. Do not attempt to bypass a verification request or create an account with an email address or phone number you cannot access.

Should I log in or sign up for LinkedIn?

• Existing account: Choose Sign In and use the email address or phone number already connected to LinkedIn.
• First LinkedIn account: Choose Join Now and complete the new-account registration form.
• Email may already be registered: Try the password-reset option. A reset message or an account-related notice can help you determine whether that address is associated with an account.
• Old account with outdated details: Start with account recovery rather than creating a duplicate profile.

Search phrases such as “LinkedIn login sign up,” “LinkedIn login or sign up,” and “LinkedIn: log in or sign up” often lead to the same choice. Logging in accesses an existing profile; signing up creates a separate account.

A LinkedIn new account login uses the credentials created during registration. If you have just registered, finish any required verification before trying to sign in again.

How do I recover access to my LinkedIn account?

1. From the LinkedIn sign-in screen, select the option for a forgotten password.
2. Enter an email address or phone number that may be connected to the account.
3. Check that inbox or phone for LinkedIn’s reset instructions.
4. Enter the requested code or follow the reset prompt.
5. Create a new password, then try signing in again.

If you no longer control the registered email address or phone number, look for an account-access or identity-verification option in LinkedIn Help. Provide only the information requested through LinkedIn’s official recovery process.

Account recovery may require extra checks. LinkedIn decides which checks apply, and completing a form does not guarantee immediate access. Avoid repeated guesses if you are unsure of the password, because additional security checks may appear.

What can I do when LinkedIn login or sign-up does not work?

• Incorrect credentials: Re-enter the email address, phone number, and password carefully. Check capitalization and remove accidental spaces.
• Verification code missing: Confirm that the destination shown on screen is correct. Check filtered email folders, wait for the current prompt to update, and request another code only when the option becomes available.
• No access to email or phone: Use LinkedIn’s account-recovery path. Do not use someone else’s contact information to get around verification.
• Browser problem: Reload the page, close and reopen the browser, or try a current browser. Clearing LinkedIn site data may help, but it can sign you out on that device.
• Registration detail rejected: Correct the field identified by the form. If the email address is already associated with LinkedIn, use password recovery instead.
• Restricted account: Follow the notice displayed by LinkedIn and use the review or appeal route it provides. Creating another account does not remove a restriction.

For LinkedIn sign up and login problems, save the exact error message before leaving the page. A screenshot can help you describe the issue, but hide passwords, verification codes, and other sensitive details before sharing it.

How do I contact LinkedIn Support about account access?

Open LinkedIn Help and search for the exact problem, such as “cannot access email,” “forgot password,” “verification code,” or “restricted account.” Choose the article or support path that matches whether the problem concerns login, registration, identity verification, or an account restriction.

1. Read the troubleshooting steps for the specific error.
2. If a contact, recovery, review, or appeal form is offered, complete it with accurate account details.
3. Use an email address you can currently access for replies when the form permits it.
4. Keep any confirmation message or case reference LinkedIn provides.
5. Respond through the same official support exchange if more information is requested.

Available contact options depend on the issue and whether you can sign in. LinkedIn may direct account-access cases to a form or guided Help process rather than displaying a general contact option. Never send a password or verification code in a support request.
