No access to email address

Last updated: 3 months ago

If you no longer use or have access to the email address used to join LinkedIn, we suggest first trying to sign in with a secondary email address or phone number associated with your account. You can sign in with any email address or phone number associated with your account.

If you can’t recover your password or don't have access to any of the email address(es) or phone number(s) associated with your account, we can help you access your account by verifying your identity. We need to verify your identity to ensure that only you regain access to your account. Learn more about how we verify identity and keep your information safe.

To regain account access, please follow the steps below:

  1. Click on Forgot password on the Sign-in screen.
  2. Enter the email address or phone number currently associated with your account and click on Next.
  3. In the following screen you’ll be asked to enter a verification code sent to your email.
  4. Since you don’t have access to this email account, click on Can’t access this email?
  5. If you have more than one email address or phone number associated with your account, you may be prompted to select one to receive a verification code. If you do not have access to any of them, click on Don't have access to any of these?
  6. Scan the QR code displayed on your screen.
  7. Enter the new email address you want associated with your account. You may also provide a link to your Linkedin profile (optional).
  8. Next, we'll ask you to verify your identity by providing an image of a valid government issued ID. After you submit the image, we'll process your information and contact you for further assistance. We ask for your ID card to ensure that only you regain access to your account and no unauthorized entity is given access.
