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 Antun, 

Thanks for your replay.

I hope you will contact your team so that a team member will be able to reach out to me to assist me.

 

Thank you, again.

Think you misunderstood my post.

Your issue happened to others and was addressed.

Oooh, I missunderstood you. Apologies for that.

If they said: "I shared your issue with our team and one of our agents will reach out to you directly via a support ticket to assist you further.", than they will.

Hi Antun,

 

I'll wait for their his contact.

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi, 

I'm trying to log in to the desktop app with Google Sign-in (Windows 64 version), and once I input my password, it goes to "One moment please..." and gets stuck there forever.

 

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Hi Goran,

 

Thank you, now I'm able to log in. Obviously not through Google, but that's perfectly fine.

 

Thank you!

I have the same problem. I'm trying to log in with google, because the app won't give me the option to log in with email (I use a gmail address). It lets me put in my email and password, then hangs.

 

I've tried logging in with my username rather than email, and I've tried rebooting. Neither have any effect.

I open the app on my desktop, log-in through Google although when I click sign in I end up staring at a never ending loading screen. The app won't fully open, I've uninstalled and re-installed mulitiple times, cleared my cache, nothing seems to work. I would appreciate the assistance, thank you in advance.

After uninstalling the app; deleting UpWork folders from AppData\Local\ and only than installing the app worked for my "never ending loading screen" error.

Now what do I do???

Are you using that Google authentication?

If yes : It happened to me and didn't work until i removed it from sittings

So the solution that worked for me was to remove it

If No : I'm sorry i can't help then

Tried on both my Mac and my Windows and for whatever reason, when I go to log in to track my hours, my machine just sits saying "connecting"..  so far we're at a number of hours on both devices. 

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi, 

I really need some help, I downloaded the upwork desktop app for Mac and for some reason I cannot get it to work. The app downloads fine and once downloaded the login window pops up, but once I put in my credentials it opens up another window that says redirecting but never stops buffering. I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling but it still isn't working, how can I fix this?

 

I have attached pictures below for reference. 

 

Thanks!

Hi I am having issues installing the desktop app tracker. Screenshot here: http://prntscr.com/rkuufm

I downloaded the Beta and the other version but no luck. Is this information helpful? http://prntscr.com/rkuvkm

Please help ASAP. Thanks.

Hi Dianne, 


Could you please confirm if you signed in with your Google credentials? Could you please try logging in to your Upwork account through a browser? Please go to your Settings page, and disassociate your Google account from your Upwork account in the Connected Services page. Once done, please try logging in to your Desktop app with your Upwork credentials to see if the issue persists.

Hi, 

 

I am new to upwork and wrote on here the other day, however I never received a response. Either way, I have been trying to set up the desktop app on my computer so that I can start working, but have been unsuccessful in all my attempts. I have tried downloading the app and installing it, didn't work. Uninstalled it and redownloaded it and cleared my computer, restarted it, restarted my router etc and it still wont work. Can someone please advise me on what I can do to have it start working? I have also attached pictures below so you can see exactly what is happening when I try to log in. 

 

Thank you! 

 

 

Please Disregard this message, someone did respond and I wasn't emailed about it and couldn't figure out how to view my old post. One of the moderators commented on how to fix it, If you are also having this problem the solution is Go to setting > go to connected services and disable "  Sign into upwork with Google 1-click" once you do that if you close the redirecting window and try to sign in again it works. Thanks!!
