When LinkedIn asks you to verify

LinkedIn sometimes asks for a verification code (OTP) before an action runs. Here's how to get the code and clear the check.

Now and then LinkedIn asks for a verification code, an OTP, before it lets an action through. This is normal. Here's how to clear it.

If your assistant tells you verification is needed (you may see a WC_AUTH_PIN_REQUIRED message):

  1. Get your code. Copy the latest code LinkedIn emailed you, or generate one in your authenticator app if you set up 2FA.

  2. Send the code. Paste it straight into your assistant's chat and send it.

  3. Try again. Once it's accepted, ask for your original task again.

Do this promptly. If you wait too long the verification window closes and you'll need to start it again.

Tip: setting up LinkedIn 2FA when you connect your account lets We-Link handle a lot of these checks for you, so your workflows run without stopping. You can set it up during Connect your LinkedIn account to We-Link.
