How does Scout handle my LinkedIn credentials?

Your LinkedIn credentials are treated with the utmost care and security. At BluChip Scout, we’ve designed our system to ensure your LinkedIn activity is safe, secure, and always under your control.

🔐 We do not store your LinkedIn username or password.

Instead of traditional login methods, Scout uses a secure session-based authentication process to connect to your LinkedIn account. This allows us to perform actions like sending connection requests or messages on your behalf—never impersonating you or storing your credentials.

🛡 What this means for you:

• Your login details stay private and are never saved in plain text.

• We maintain strict security protocols to safeguard any session tokens we use to perform LinkedIn actions.

• All LinkedIn activity initiated by Scout is tied to your account and done transparently—just like if you were doing it manually.

• You are always in full control and can disconnect or pause LinkedIn activity at any time.

💬 Why this approach?

Because LinkedIn doesn’t offer a public API for outreach automation, Scout uses a browser session method that mimics your natural behavior while staying within responsible usage boundaries. We also actively monitor limits to protect your account from being flagged.

Pro tip: Don’t share your LinkedIn credentials with anyone. Even though Scout doesn’t store them, it’s best to keep your login info secure and use strong passwords on all your accounts.

At BluChip, your security is built into every feature we offer. You can use Scout with confidence knowing we’re protecting your LinkedIn presence behind the scenes.
