Desktop App Google Log In error

Hello. I registered my account on Upwork through the Google account. Desktop App doesn't allow me to log in by this option. It says: this browser or app can be unsafe, try to refresh the page and try again. This advice doesn't help. What's the solution?

Hello, I am having the same issue as well.

Once they get a solution, can they please post it??? It's a terrible business idea to leave this problem unsolved in this forum. If they figured out how to solve it, just post the solution! don't make me call the service team too!! 

i cannot login too. Loading bar continues to rotate, but nothing happens. Please help!

Hi Jaka,

 

I'm sorry about the issue you're having. Please follow the steps I've shared with Alice below and let us know if you are able to access and use the Desktop app.

Hi Aldo,

 

Please go to Settings>Connected Services on your account and disable Google Sign-In. Afterwards, please try to log into your Desktop app by using your username/account email address and your password.

Thank you!

Thank you! This suggestion worked for me. I have been able to log in on my desktop app using my email and password after disabling the Google sign in.

Thank you!

This suggestion worked for me too.

I was able to connect after disconnecting my Google account.

Thank You, that worked fine.

That is EXACTLY the same problem I'm having. Where do we create a service desk ticket? 

Hi Tyler,

 

Could you please try logging into your Upwork account through a browser, and go to your Settings > Connected Services > and disassociate your Google from your Upwork account. Once done, please try logging in through the app with your Upwork credentials. If the issue persists, please let us know so that we can assist you further. Thank you!

I am logged into the web version. It's what I use primarily, but I need to have the desktop version for better communications and time tracking. How can this be a problem? Google's APIs are very well documented and supporting them is a breeze.

Oh, and why isn't there a mobile app?

Hi Tyler,

 

Upwork has a Freelancer Mobile App, but it doesn't support time tracking. I'll be sure to share this with the team. Thank you.

I have a similar problem because I log in with my google account but it stays on loading screen forever. I literally waited up to 4 hours waiting for it to log-in. Please help me!

Please someone help! I am trying to login to my account (**Edited for community guidelines**) but it's stuck on google authentication. That was fine for awhile but I recently closed my google account and now cannot login to my Upwork account. When I search help I find that I have to disable google authentication in Connected Services but I have to login to do this! Ugh...I can't login! Please help!
