If you are certain your LinkedIn password is correct but the connection still fails, the issue is typically caused by security checkpoints, verification loops, or session conflicts on LinkedIn's side.
Follow these troubleshooting steps to solve the most common issues:
1. Check for Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Even if Gojiberry accepts your password, LinkedIn often triggers an additional security verification challenge behind the scenes.
Look for Verification Codes: Immediately check your email inbox, mobile device (SMS), and native LinkedIn mobile app notifications for a 6-digit sign-in code or a "Was this you?" approval prompt. Approve the access request and retry.
Missing or Invalid Codes: If the code fails to arrive or shows as invalid, wait 10 minutes before requesting a new one.
The Direct Fix: If you are permanently stuck on this step, temporarily deactivate Two-Factor Authentication directly within your LinkedIn Account Settings (Settings & Privacy > Sign-in & security > Two-step verification), connect your account to Gojiberry, and then reactivate your 2FA security.
You would need to go right to Settings & Privacy
And then deactivate the Two-step verification to Off
2. Address Temporary Session Restrictions
LinkedIn heavily monitors the locations and frequencies of account logins. If you attempt to sign in multiple times back-to-back, LinkedIn may silently flag the activity and temporarily block new authentications.
Step Back: Do not repeatedly try to connect, as this can extend the restriction period.
The Fix: Close the Gojiberry connection window and wait 15 to 30 minutes for the automated security flag to cool down before trying a single clean login.
3. Clear Active Session Conflicts
Having too many active, concurrent LinkedIn sessions open across multiple devices, browsers, or locations can cause token conflicts that block Gojiberry's access.
In this case, try these steps:
Open a browser tab, go to your LinkedIn account, and navigate to Settings & Privacy > Sign-in & security > Where you're logged in.
Review the list and click End these sessions on the active connections to clear them.
Restart your browser and log back into your primary browser session once, then return to Gojiberry and retry the connection.
