How to add a LinkedIn account?

Step 1. To get started, log in to your LinkedIn account in a separate browser tab → Click 'Me' 'Settings & Privacy'.

Step 2. Go to Sign in & security → Click 'Two-step verification'

  • If two-step verification is enabled, temporarily disable it. After that, proceed to the next step.
  • If two-step verification is not enabled, proceed to the next step to enable it.

Step 3. Enable two-step verification and enter the code sent to your email address, then click 'Submit'

Step 4. Choose 'Authenticator App' and click 'Continue' → Enter your LinkedIn password to proceed

Step 5. Download an authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator.

Step 6. In your authenticator app, look for the QR scanner and scan the QR code displayed on your screen. This will add your LinkedIn account to your authenticator app.

Step 7. Once authenticator is set up, copy the code below the QR code and paste it into a Notepad (or somewhere safe) → Click 'Continue'.

Step 8. Enter the code you see in your authenticator app → Click Verify. Your LinkedIn two factor authentication is now setup!

Step 9. Copy the code from LinkedIn that you pasted into your Notepad.

Step 10. After copying the code, go to your QuickMail account → Channels → LinkedIn → + LinkedIn → LinkedIn credentials + 2FA

Step 11. Choose country → Add the email address & password associated with your LinkedIn account → Paste the 2FA code → Add
