All you have to do is complete this form so Upwork can verify it's you and get you back in your account.

 

You can also respond to your client by responding to the email that alerted you to the message the client sent.

I think it is a problem because you are having problems right now logging into your account.

just think you will be better off and less likely to forget things like your password


She didn't "forget her password" - she can't log in because of 2-factor verification. That has nothing to do with forgetting her password.

You messed up.

You will need to work with Customer Service to recover access to your account.

 

re: "i am signing in by saved password from my laptop"

 

After you recover access to your account, you should never again allow your laptop to save your password.

 

When you need to log in, type your password.

it surprises me that i cant get any dirrect help from them in this kind of urgent situations, and as their clinet for many years, i am expacting that.

I think it is a problem because you are having problems right now logging into your account.

 

You forgot to update your phone number. I just think you will be better off and less likely to forget things like your password if you avoid letting the computer save it and enter it for you.

 

But you can do what you want. It is my suggestion. Not a rule.
