How to Recover a LinkedIn Account without Email

Use this interactive demo to learn how to regain access to your LinkedIn account using your phone number.

Quick summary

If you've lost access to your LinkedIn account and no longer have your email address, you can recover your account by verifying your identity through a registered mobile number and OTP code. This step-by-step process lets you reset access quickly without needing your original email.


Steps

  1. Go to the LinkedIn sign-in page and click 'Forgot password'.
  2. Enter your mobile number instead of your email — make sure the number is already registered to the account.
  3. Complete the security check for identity verification.
  4. Enter the OTP code sent to your registered number, then click 'Submit' to regain access.

📌 Why this matters

Losing access to a LinkedIn account because of a forgotten or inaccessible email is a common problem that can cut professionals off from their network, job opportunities, and career history. LinkedIn's phone-number-based account recovery process provides a secure fallback that lets users verify their identity via a registered mobile number and one-time passcode, restoring access without requiring the original email. This matters because LinkedIn is a critical professional tool, and even a brief lockout can mean missed recruiter messages, lost connections, and interrupted business activity. Understanding this recovery method helps users act quickly and confidently when standard login credentials are unavailable.
