I'm sorry that you're not able to save your one-time password for LinkedIn. I just tested this and was able to save and use the one-time password without issue. Can you try again by saving the secret key provided by LinkedIn in a new one-time password field using the 1Password for Mac app and this guide: Use 1Password as an authenticator for sites with two-factor authentication
If that still doesn't work then is it possible that your device's time settings may be off? It’s important that your device’s time isn’t more than 30 seconds off. The authentication code changes every 30 seconds, so if your device is more than 30 seconds off, you’ll see an incorrect code.
To check the date and time settings on all your devices, visit this website on each of your devices and make sure the time matches:
If the date and time on a device doesn’t match, you can adjust it: Set the date and time automatically on your Mac - Apple Support (CA)
Let me know how that goes.
