I tried to connect LinkedIn but it failed — what should I do?
This is a common issue and it is usually easy to fix.
Here are the most frequent causes and how to solve them.
1. Wrong email or password
Sometimes the LinkedIn email or password entered in the secure connection flow is slightly incorrect.
How to fix:
•
Try again with the right LinkedIn account.
If it fails again:
•
Log in directly on LinkedIn to make sure the email and password work.
•
Then go back to Settings → LinkedIn Accounts in Looply and retry the connection.
2. LinkedIn triggered a verification
If LinkedIn asks for verification, it may ask for a code, send a confirmation email, show a mobile app prompt, or temporarily block the login attempt.
This is a normal LinkedIn security process.
How to fix:
•
Check your email for a message from LinkedIn with a verification code.
•
Check your LinkedIn mobile app for a notification.
•
Check your SMS messages for a code.
•
Check your 2FA app for a code.
•
Enter the code in Looply's secure connection flow.
If it still does not work:
•
Wait 5–10 minutes.
•
Try once again.
•
Contact support from the chat if it still fails.
3. You are using a VPN or changing locations
LinkedIn often checks login attempts that come from VPNs, travel, sudden location changes, or unfamiliar devices.
How to fix:
•
Turn off your VPN before connecting.
•
Use a stable login location that matches how you normally use LinkedIn.
•
Retry the connection from the same device and browser if possible.
•
Avoid switching devices, networks, or IP locations while the sender is connecting.
4. Too many attempts
Too many repeated connection attempts in a short time can trigger a temporary LinkedIn lock.
How to fix:
•
Wait 10–15 minutes.
•
Try once.
•
If it still fails, stop retrying and contact support from the chat.
