What is LinkedIn requiring of you exactly?
Years ago I uploaded an extremely low-res image of my face to LinkedIn and it’s never asked me for more.
It requires me to scan my face like centre , right and left side to enter in my account but first I need to scan a qr to verify
You’re not using the app are you?
Avoid the app at all costs. Use the web site. I can log in there with nothing but a username and password.
The stuff you’re describing sounds like it’s setting up a passkey and tying it to Windows Hello via a face scan.
None of that is needed, but even if you use passkeys (which you should), you don’t have to do a local face scan to unlock it; you can use a password or (better) a token such as a YubiKey.
In all these cases though, LinkedIn isn’t doing a face scan; that’s just your designated way to unlock your locally stored passkeys.
I am using firefox on gentoo Linux and my system does not support passkey . When I log in it showed me this page for id verification by the same company which is owned by linkdin but under different name . It shows a qr then I scan it on android and it shows that face capturing circle
Yeah; that’s passkeys in action. It’s your Android phone setting up the passkeys vault that’s doing the face capturing, not LinkedIn. LinkedIn is showing you the QR code as a means of using passkeys for verification.
That's not a passkey url and on android to setup passkey I need google lense but there it was a link to scan my face
