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?

Hi Queenie, 

Could you please go to your Settings page and go to your Connected Services page. From there, please disassociate your Google account from your Upwork account. Once done, please login to the Upwork Desktop App with your Upwork credentials to see if the issue persists.

Hi

I downloaded Upwork Desktop app from the site. 

I used my Google sign in to login to the Desktop app.

However after providing the password for the sign in, the Desktop app does not lead me to the next step.

A screen shows up informing "One moment please" for more than an hour without any success.

I've downloaded and tried 32bit as well as 64 bit desktop app.

I have 64 bit windows 8.1 operating system..

Kindly help me in finding the issue. 

Hi Ashokkumar,


Please go to Settings > Connected Service > and disconnect your Google account. If you`re still experiencing the same problem with the desktop app after this, let me know here. Thank you.

Hi Umang,

 

Please try to disable Google Sign-In under your Settings>Connected Services. Then try to log into your Desktop app by using your username/account email address and your password.

Let us know if the issue persists.

 

Thank you!

I can't seem to log into the upwork app using my Gmail account - I get through the 2 step authentication with a code from my phone and I get stuck on the redirecting page as seen in the attached video.

 
I tried logging in with my username but the app directs me to log in using my email again. I can't get around it.

Hi,

I am currently unable to use the desktop app. I used a google account to login but it keeps loading for hours and does not proceed (Screenshot attached below).

 

I can log in from the browser but can't use the time tracking feature. Please guide me to resolve this issue.

 

Regards.

Muhammad Junaid Dar.

Hi Muhammad,

 

Please go to Settings > Connected Services > and if your Google account connected remove it. Once you`ve done this try to log in to the Desktop app using your username/email. If you`re still experiencing the same problem after this, let me know. Thank you.

Hi Goran,

 

I have only this ONE email connected to my account, wouldn't removing this might affect access to the account? Let me tell you that I signed up using directly Google account and I am not able to log in whenever I try using my email and password to log in to the site

Hi Muhammad,

 

Rest assured you won't have any problems with your account after you disconnect your Google account. Please do so and let me know if you`re experiencing the same problem on your end. Thank you.
