'LinkedIn requires verification' errors
Sometimes an action fails with: 'LinkedIn requires verification. Please log in to LinkedIn directly and complete any security checks.'
This means LinkedIn placed a checkpoint in front of your session: a 2FA prompt, a device confirmation, a captcha, or a similar verification step. Until it is cleared, actions through that session fail.
To fix it:
- Open linkedin.com in your normal browser and log in.
- Complete whatever verification LinkedIn shows.
- Go to your Crispy dashboard, open the affected account, and click 'Reconnect'.
- If LinkedIn shows another checkpoint inside the reconnect flow, complete that one too. The reconnect does not count until the checkpoint clears.
- Give it a minute, then retry the action.
Step 3 matters. Signing back into LinkedIn in a browser tab on its own does not tell Crispy anything; the reconnect flow is what refreshes the session Crispy uses.
Reducing repeats
Checkpoints are LinkedIn's normal reaction to something it finds unusual, like a new device or a jump in activity. Things that help:
- Ramp new accounts gradually instead of running at full capacity on day one. Warm-up mode exists exactly for this.
- Keep daily activity within the default safety limits.
- Do not run multiple automation tools against the same LinkedIn account at the same time.
If verification loops (you clear it, reconnect, and immediately hit another checkpoint), contact [email protected] with your account ID.
