Eli from MAIA walks you through enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on LinkedIn, a critical step in protecting your account from unauthorized access and potential security threats.

Steps to Enable Two-Factor Authentication on LinkedIn:

1. Go to Settings: Click on ‘Me’ at the top of your LinkedIn homepage, then select ‘Settings & Privacy’ from the dropdown menu.
2. Access Sign-In Security: Find the ‘Sign-in & security’ section on the left-hand side of the settings page.
3. Activate Two-Step Verification: Scroll to the bottom to find ‘Two-step verification’ and click on it.
4. Choose Your Verification Method: Opt for a verification code to be generated by an authenticator app like Google Authenticator, or choose to receive the code via SMS.
5. Turn On 2FA: Set the two-factor authentication to ‘On’ and follow the prompts to complete the setup.

Eli emphasizes the importance of two-factor authentication as an additional layer of security for your LinkedIn account, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. By using a verification code in addition to your password, you enhance the protection of your personal and professional information on the platform.
