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.
The horror! I detest that website with my all. It was one of the earliest places I saw a nasty dark pattern. They would bait you to pay to see who viewed your profile, preying on job seekers desperate for a signal that something may come their way. Nasty evil people those!
I’ve been trying to log in just to delete my account lol
