Each Campaign Manager user is required to enable two-factor authentication on their individual LinkedIn account to help secure their ad accounts. If there are multiple users on an ad account, each person needs to enable two-factor authentication.

Two-factor authentication is required to help enhance the security of your account. Two-factor authentication requires that a person use more than one form of verification to access an account, usually by “knowing something” such as a password and by “having something” such as a mobile device.
By adding two-factor authentication to your account, together we can help LinkedIn stay a safe, trusted, and professional platform.
If you’ve already turned two-factor authentication on, you’re not required to take any additional action at this time.
If you haven’t turned two-factor authentication on, you’ll see a prompt in your LinkedIn desktop or mobile app with instructions to turn two-factor authentication on.
If you’ve authorized integrating Campaign Manager data with your marketing partner, you’ll need to re-authorize the integration if you enabled two-factor authentication before October 31, 2023, to allow the integration to continue running successfully. Please contact your marketing partner if you need help re-authenticating the integration.
