Tell HN: How to close your LinkedIn account

2 pointsby pksadiqover 2 years ago
In the past, I have tried deleting my LinkedIn account several times. Every single time, in the last step, the final deletion button was inactive, and no reason given for why it&#x27;s so. The Internet wasn&#x27;t helping my either.<p>So today, I tried once again: But this time, I used my browser inspector, removed &#x27;disabled=&quot;true&quot;&#x27; for the &quot;Done&quot; button, then clicked it.<p>voilà! LinkedIn said: &quot;We’ve closed your account.&quot;

I got a hard lockout to my LinkedIN account a few months ago, since I enabled 2FA and lost the device. I had to send a passport scan to support so they could verify it was me, so I could close my account. Not that I minded that much.<p>It goes to show you their support team is actually active and don&#x27;t ignore queries (even if the service is free).
