With the recent LinkedIn security breach plus other sites such as eHarmony being breached, it is good practice to regularly refresh passwords.
In LinkedIn go to 1. Settings > 2. Account > 3. Change Password
If using a mobile device, browse to LinkedIn.com then select Full site at the bottom of the page then follow the process above.
Select a password that is a phrase made up of lower and upper case letters, numbers and symbols.
After changing, you can then check if your previous password was compromised here: https://lastpass.com/linkedin
It is also recommended that you routinely back up your LinkedIn Connections, as well as the content of your profile.
