Sales Navigator requires two-factor sign-in [Sales Navigator](https://compleadly.com/knowledge/category/sales-navigator) # Sales Navigator requires two-factor sign-in Last updated on November 2, 20261 min read --- Table of contents [What you need to do now (about 3 minutes)](https://compleadly.com/knowledge/sales-navigator-requires-two-factor-sign-in#what-you-need-to-do-now-about-3-minutes)[What happens next](https://compleadly.com/knowledge/sales-navigator-requires-two-factor-sign-in#what-happens-next) // contents [What you need to do now (about 3 minutes)](https://compleadly.com/knowledge/sales-navigator-requires-two-factor-sign-in#what-you-need-to-do-now-about-3-minutes)[What happens next](https://compleadly.com/knowledge/sales-navigator-requires-two-factor-sign-in#what-happens-next) Does CompLeadly show the message **"LinkedIn requires two-factor sign-in for Sales Navigator"**? Or do the run details say **"Sales Navigator: two-factor sign-in needed"**? Then LinkedIn wants you to secure your account once with a second factor. Only after that does LinkedIn let Sales Navigator open automatically again. This comes from LinkedIn LinkedIn asks for this, not CompLeadly. It can also affect accounts that have worked without two-factor sign-in so far. ## What you need to do now (about 3 minutes) 1 Sign in to LinkedIn Open LinkedIn in your browser and sign in with the account you use in CompLeadly. 2 Turn on two-factor authentication Open your LinkedIn settings, go to the sign-in and security section and turn on two-factor authentication. If it already shows as on, it is active. A guide with screenshots for the LinkedIn app is here: [Activate two-factor authentication in the LinkedIn app as a push notification](https://compleadly.com/knowledge/activate-two-factor-authentication-in-the-linkedin-app-as-a-push-notification). 3 Open Sales Navigator once Open Sales Navigator once in your browser. If LinkedIn asks you to confirm something, confirm it. ## What happens next The feature then continues automatically the next time it starts. You don't need to do anything else. **Several LinkedIn accounts in your team?** Each account has to turn on two-factor sign-in itself. --- Was this article helpful? Didn't find your answer?
