I'm very glad to hear the Linkedin is the latest company that boosts the
security with the Two-Factor authentication. Few days back, Twitter
enabled the two-step verification to thwart hackers.
Are you searching for the guide to configure the 2-step authentication?
You are at right place. Here is the guide that will help you to
configure the linkedin two-step verification .
Before getting into the actual steps, let me explain what 2-step auth is.
Two-Step Verification:
A security feature that prompts you to enter a temporary secret number sent to your phone whenever you log into your account.
Why you should enable this feature?
I believe this is best security feature. Let us assume, someone has
stolen your login credentials via keylogger or phishing or any other
method. If the hacker try to log into the website with your
credentials, he will asked to provide the secret number sent to your
mobile. Fortunately, you have your mobile with you ;) . So hacker
can't log in to your account. Also you will come to know that someone
is trying to access your account.
