I tried to connect LinkedIn but it failed — what should I do?

This is a common issue and is usually easy to fix.

Here are the most frequent causes and how to solve them:

1. Wrong email or password

Sometimes the LinkedIn email or password entered is slightly incorrect.

How to fix it:

  • Try again with the right credentials

If it fails again :

  • Try logging in directly on LinkedIn to make sure the credentials are working

  • Then retry connecting inside Gojiberry


2. LinkedIn triggered a verification

If LinkedIn asks for a verification, they might :

  • Ask for a verification code

  • Send a confirmation email

  • Block the login attempt temporarily

This is a normal process.

How to fix it:

  • Check your email for a message from LinkedIn with a code

  • Check your LinkedIn app for a notification

  • Check your SMS for a code

  • Check your 2FA app for a code

  • Complete the connection on Gojiberry

If it doesn't work ?

  • Wait 5–10 minutes

  • Try again

  • Contact us on the chat


3. You’re using a VPN

LinkedIn often blocks login attempts coming from VPNs.

How to fix it:

  • Turn off your VPN

  • Retry the connection


4. Too many attempts

Too many login attempts in a short time can trigger a temporary lock.

How to fix it:

  • Wait 10–15 minutes

  • Try again once
