Most services ask for your email address and/or recovery key to recover your account. LinkedIn, on the other hand, goes full surveillance mode. It wants my actual government ID to give access to my account.
If this was critical banking service, I would have understood. But it is freakin LinkedIn, the most I have got out of that place is actual lunatics.
Do you have to verify your identity? I know in the past you had that option but didn’t have to do it. But they just changed their terms of service so is this part of that?
