I haven't used my LinkedIn account for years and recently decided to log in and delete the account. Of
course, I don't remember my password so I went through the 'Forgot Password' routine thinking they'd
email me to 'Change Password'. No such thing happened.
They required me to send their 3rd Party provider Persona government issued ID including a facsimile of
my passport, a recent photo of myself (even though I never had one in my profile) and proof of my current
address. I replied to the help email address saying that my account hasn't been accessed for at least 10
years, I still get their useless emails telling me who is a friend of someone I know and that my derelict
account is just hogging resouces on their servers and would they please delete my account.They
haven't responded, that was 6 months ago. LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft ....
