Do you have your work email address or personal email address on your LinkedIn?

What happens to your LinkedIn account if you’ve forgotten your password and the email reminder goes to a work email address you no longer have access to?

A lot of stress is the simple answer!

To avoid this, you can add multiple email addresses to your LinkedIn account. One of them will be set to your primary address. Here are the steps to do this:

– Click the Me icon

– Click Settings & Privacy

– Click Sign in & security and click on Email addresses under Account access

– Click Add email address. For security purposes, you may be prompted to enter a verification code sent to your primary email address or to approve the change through your LinkedIn app

– Enter the new email address and your LinkedIn password in the text box and click Submit

– Log in to your email account and follow the prompts in the email to validate your new address

– If you’d like to make your new email address your primary address, click Make primary next to the email address you’ve added

– Tap Remove next to an email address to delete it
