We built Extrovert with security as our top priority. While we're a third-party tool connecting to LinkedIn, we use advanced security measures to protect your account.
Why we need your login credentials
When you connect Extrovert, we ask for your LinkedIn login and password to create a separate session. This is the safest way to connect to LinkedIn - let's see why.
Why using a separate session is the most secure way
Every time you log into LinkedIn - whether from your phone, laptop, different browser, or work computer - you create what's called a "session". LinkedIn expects you to have multiple sessions and considers this normal activity.
Most LinkedIn users have multiple sessions (from work, from home, from their phone); it's normal.
When Extrovert connects to LinkedIn:
We create a new session, just like logging in from another device
Your session gets an IP from your location
LinkedIn sees this as normal activity, like you have logged in from a different browser or work computer
It's much more secure than using your existing session with Chrome extension
Easily revoke access anytime
You can disconnect Extrovert anytime right from LinkedIn. You don't need to log into Extrovert to do that - manage access directly from LinkedIn here
You can enable 2-step verification (2FA) for extra security. Even though you share your password with Extrovert, we can only log in if you provide the code from SMS, email, or app
Why using an existing session or Chrome extension is less secure
Some tools use Chrome extensions instead of asking for your login. While this seems more convenient (they do not need your password and connect seamlessly), it's actually less safe for two reasons:
Chrome extensions
LinkedIn actively scans for Chrome extensions
It is easily detectable from their side
It is proven that they track over 1,800 known automation extensions
Session copying
When tools use Chrome extensions or session cookies, they clone your existing browser session
LinkedIn sees your browser suddenly duplicating itself
It is a very unusual activity and can be easily detected
That's why Extrovert uses a completely different approach - a fresh, clean session that looks like normal LinkedIn activity.
Additional safety measures
All commenting actions happen during your normal working hours
We set random delays between activities to ensure it looks natural
We help you stay within LinkedIn's daily limits with separate controls for comments and likes
Extrovert is not an automation tool - everything should be approved before posting
How we fetch posts safely
We use a safe and intelligent approach to fetch posts from your prospects that minimizes LinkedIn activity and keeps your account secure:
We don't visit individual profiles - This means we never notify prospects that you've viewed their profile
We don't use your account to enrich prospect information - When you upload prospects, we gather their name, profile picture, headline, etc. using our own systems, not your LinkedIn account
We use LinkedIn's search functionality - Instead of visiting profiles, we utilize LinkedIn's search page to find posts from specific people
Batched processing - We group approximately 20-25 prospects together in each batch, so checking 1000 prospects only requires about 50 search queries per day
Intelligent timing - We check for new posts every 24 hours and space out these checks throughout the day with random intervals to keep activity human-like
Using with other LinkedIn tools
You can use Extrovert alongside other LinkedIn tools. However:
Carefully respect daily limits across all tools
Don't connect too many tools at once
Is Extrovert an official LinkedIn tool
No, we're not affiliated with LinkedIn. We're a third-party tool that helps you engage with your network. However:
We use the safest connection method possible
You control all activities
You can remove access anytime
95% of the tools you know (big logos, too) are 3rd party tools. Some are just less transparent about how they connect to LinkedIn.
