Given the recent news around high-profile account takeover attempts on other services, LinkedIn have worked hard behind the scenes to design two new tools to improve the safety, security and control of your LinkedIn account.
In my recent slide share I discuss these changes and show you how to access them within your account.
2. INTRODUCTION
Given the news around high-profile account
takeover attempts on other services,
LinkedIn has worked hard behind the
scenes to design 2 new tools to improve the
safety, security and control of your LinkedIn
account.
3. SEE YOUR DATA
Their first update is designed to give every member the opportunity see all the data stored on their
account, including your updates, activity, IP records, searches and so on …..
Unlike other platforms out there such as Facebook, Twitter, You Tube etc., LinkedIn operates from a
fundamental belief that any data you create within your account is yours and because of that you
should have access to it at any given time.
4. GETTING THE DATA
To access your data, simply go to the “Privacy
& User Settings” located in the drop down
menu at the top right hand corner of your
profile.
5. GETTING THE DATA
Click on the Account tab at the very bottom
and here you will see the option: “Request
an archive of your data”.
6. GETTING THE DATA
Once you click on that link, you will then be
directed to a page asking you whether you
want to request an archive of your
information. Once you confirm, you will get
an email notifying you that the information
you’ve requested will be sent to your inbox
within 72 hours.
7. MANAGE YOUR SESSIONS
The 2nd tool LinkedIn has built is designed to help you manage your sign sessions all in one place
so you can see every location you’ve signed into LinkedIn and manage those sessions in your
settings.
Not sure if you remembered to log-out of your LinkedIn account on your friend’s computer? Well with
this tool you can now easily manage all those sessions in one spot.
8. MANAGE YOUR
SESSIONS
To access this feature, go back into your settings and right underneath the Payments section
you will see a link to access this section. Once you’re on this page you can see a list of the
sessions that are currently open. You have the option to close them individually or all of the
sessions at once.
9. FULL CONTROL
If you’ve outsourced your LinkedIn campaigns to an assistant or marketing department it’s important
that you only have one session open at any given time.
All of these changes are part of LinkedIn’s ongoing commitment to put members first and give you
full control of the content you share within the network.
