At no time during the process was this change made known to me, and I am assuming that it might have something to do with the hotmail address that I chose as my primary/login address.

The problem is that, somewhere along the way, my primary email address - the one that I used during initial signup - was replaced with the secondary email address that was added while furnishing additional information. We recommend that you add both a personal and work email address. At some point along the way, LinkedIn asks for additional or alternate email addresses 3 in order to network with even more people:Īdding an email address is useful if you expect to be invited to connect at more than one address. During the LinkedIn account setup process, there is a registration progress-meter that says 50%, 75%, 85%, and so on until you have furnished all of the required information. Fortunately, the entire registration process was still fresh in my memory. The email address or password you provided does not match our records. Here’s the message I received after using the exact same email and password from several days ago: Upon returning to the computer this morning, I decided to login and check my LinkedIn account. After a successful round of building up my network, I signed off for the week and returned to my regular “offline” job as a Lab Tech.Īnd that brings us to today. Everything went very well, and I managed to send out LinkedIn networking invitations to quite a few people on either my Monzilla Media or Perishable Press email/contact lists 2. The following week, I was finally able to setup my new account. So, without being able to update my information, my only choice was to delete the account and start over 1. I know the account was there, but no matter what I tried I could not login. Without going into detail, suffice it to say that my original account signup information was no longer valid and the LinkedIn support staff was unable to even locate my account, let alone reset my password or provide login access. A couple of weeks ago I twittered that I had canceled my LinkedIn account.
