Warning about Linkedin security verification
Hi everyone, just wanted to share my experience this week of being locked out of Linkedin and getting my account back (hopefully) so that you can be aware of this.
Basically, when I tried to log into Linkedin via Chrome, I was getting this message "Something unexpected happened. Please try again."
I tried all the techniques ChatGPT suggested, like clearing cache, etc. but I had no success on Chrome or Microsoft edge, which log me out every time I switch off my computer. Doing a little research on the net, I found a way to submit a ticket to Linkedin by taking a screen shot and sending it to them.
Fortunately, I was still able to access Linkedin on my phone and Firefox, because they never log me out, so I was able to submit my customer support ticket (I'm not sure how you can do it if you aren't logged in). Basically, they have required me to submit government ID to 'prove my identity' despite my having 2-factor authentication. I think they are using this tactic to force everyone to submit their ID.
So, this is just to give you a heads up - it might happen to you, so make sure you can keep yourself logged into your account some way, if it's safe to do so. And if you get that message, now you know what to do!
P.S. I'm furious I had to share my id!
