Currently, when a LinkedIn member loses his/her password and access to their primary email, there is no automated online process to retrieve their account. Only through a manual and cumbersome process involving the submission of government issued id card can a user gain access to their Linkedin account. We propose of a multi-stage authentication scheme based on building and leveraging a unique profile signature for each user. This signature is a weighted composition of the user’s profile components, profile usage patterns and signals derived from the user’s connection graph. This will improve the turnaround time giving the user a good user experience.
