Currently, I am logged in to LinkedIn on my laptop. I reinstalled the mobile apps yesterday.
But I forgot my password. I have two emails and a mobile number. While recovering the password, I get a code in my email, but no code comes to my mobile. When I put the code from the email, it says something unexpected happened.
Try again. So I need to recover my password to log in on mobile.

My account is *** , PMP
Few months ago (probably since January), I tried it and didn't work.
Would you please help me to get it updated?
I am not sure but I think that probably it disappeared because the email : *** was cancelled due to company name change and it was replaced by the new one. If that is the reason, I am ready to share all required details to prove that it is was my email.

Unhautorized charing of Linkedin Premium
- - Trial ended with no reminders or receipts, yet an annual charge appeared; refunds were small and most of charge kept, while cases were ignored.
LinkedIn relies on predatory dark patterns. They failed to send a legally required trial-end notification, silently charging me an unauthorized CHF 240.75 for an annual Premium subscription.
I never used the service.
Support agent [PERSON_NAME] officially admitted in writing that their notification system failed. However, they refuse to refund the remaining CHF 175.45 balance simply because their specific support "tool is disabled." A software limitation does not excuse keeping unauthorized funds.
In May 2025, I signed up for a 1-month free trial of Premium Career. LinkedIn completely failed to send a trial-end reminder, an upcoming renewal notice, or even a basic confirmation receipt when the trial concluded.
Because of this total lack of transparency, my credit card was silently charged CHF 240.75 upfront for a full annual subscription. I had no idea this paid subscription was active for 10 months because I never received an email or invoice.
When I discovered the charge and opened my first support ticket, the agent hid behind automated policy scripts. After intense pushback, they acknowledged the situation enough to grant a "one-time exception" pro-rated refund of only CHF 65.30 for the remaining weeks left in the cycle.
However, they kept roughly CHF 175 for a service I was never notified about and never intentionally used.
Worse yet, when I asked to escalate the case to a billing manager to resolve the full unauthorized amount, they closed the first ticket. I have since opened two more formal compliance tickets to get a supervisor's attention, and LinkedIn has completely ghosted meleaving my dispute sitting completely unanswered for over a month.
They refuse to provide a phone number, their first-line agents cannot manually override their broken automated systems, and they actively ignore open cases when they realize you are holding them accountable to basic consumer transparency rules.
Unresolved Ticket Reference Numbers for tracking: Case # 260305-****02, Case # 260429-****58, and Case # 260527-****85.
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Never trust LinkedIn with a free trial. If you do sign up for one, cancel it the exact same day or completely delete your credit card details from your account settings immediately. If their system fails to notify you of a renewal, their support desk will entirely ignore your requests and refuse to manually fix the mistake.

Unable to access My Second LinkedIn Account
- - Second LinkedIn account is restricted; verification followed selfie and license; a second account was opened for freelance recruiting tied to HRBP.
My second linked account is restricted. I have been on my second account all day, and all of a sudden, verification is needed.
I provided the information with a live selfie and my state-issued driver's license. My first LinkedIn Account is connected to two Gmail accounts: *** and ***.
I opened a second account using my ********* because I wanted to use my Freelance Recruiting Partner position, given the overlap with my recent HR Business Partner Certification. My 980 mobile number is linked to my *** email address.

Verified ReviewerNot refunding per company policy
- - $108.99 charge for a Premium Company page; no sign-up known.
- - Refund requested; case moved with no update in a week; seven-day refunds if unused.
More than a week ago, I noticed a $108.99 credit card charge for a Premium Company page. I had no idea I had even signed up for this service.
It probably happened when I was trying to add a month of Premium service. Once I saw the charge, I went to the LinkedIn website to cancel the service. I eventually found a refund page, but could not answer some of the questions listed on the form as they were not applicable. I completed a customer service form and inserted my request for a refund.
I received notification that my case was being transferred to a different team, presumably one related to Premium Company issues. That was more than a week ago, and I have heard nothing about what should be a routine matter.
Per LinkedIn policy, I can request a refund within seven days of a charge, provided I have not used the service. I have met that requirement and want a refund.
- Networking
- Very poor customer service
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Never give LinkedIn your credit card or bank account information

“Very poor customer service”. YOU made an error, had buyer’s remorse then post here claiming you had no idea you signed up.
Then you explain how this happened. The seven day notice was the timeframe to initiate cancellation. In that “more than a week ago” request that wasn’t even on their form was two weekend days and a holiday. So they have to read your request, process your refund and then 3-5 business days after to hit your account.
Yet you rate them 1-star for your incompetence and want help? Noise.
