That is how you should interpret the “Wrong account” warning: Note: If you changed your email address to log into your LinkedIn account, you should change the email address for the existing instance that you used to log into that account previously (instead of adding a new account to Linked Helper).

If I create a new empty instance #88 and try to log into either John's or Jane's LinkedIn account there, then I also will be logged out as they already have their own instances #56 and #24. In other words, if I have LinkedIn accounts of Jane and John, logged in into Linked Helper instances #24 and #56 respectfully, then I won't be able to log into Jane's LinkedIn via Linked Helper instance #56 where John was already logged in but now is logged out (or vice versa).
