I know that I am not allowed to create a new account as well, but I've also forgotten my old password / security answer and cannot access my old account, so can I get help for said account, at **Edited for Community Guidelines**? I'll delete this account the moment I regain access. Thank you.

Hi Justrina,

We followed up with the team and they will update you directly via a support ticket regarding the status of your account.

Hi! I forgot an answer to a security question for my main account, so I can't login. (I created this one just to post here). When I try to click the link "Forgot security question", I see only a login page. Could you help me please? Thanks

Hi Lena,

 

Please complete and submit this form to recover your account. Someone from our team will reach out to assist. Once you`ve logged in to your original account I would suggest closing this one as having more than one is not allowed. Thank you.

I need help
I forgot my password and security question
Many times I enter my password, I suspect that my account has been suspended
I created this account to talk to you, imagine it
I can not talk to you, whenever I use the password recovery form or the security question, you send me an email builder I can not currently subscribe to upwork
Now I want to either restore my old account or cancel it and my old account **Edited for Community Guidelines**
I promise you once you restore my old account I cancel this
Or let me know so that I can re-establish my account using the current account

I'm sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you. I followed up with the team handling your case and they already reached out to you directly via a support ticket to assist you further with your password/security question recovery. Kindly, close your newly created account in order not to violate Upwork's ToS. Let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi Joanne,

 

I've followed the steps from the article and submitted the form for recovering the password, but no one is writing me. As I don't have access to my original email, I asked to be contacted on the new one. I hoped that someone will contact here. Thanks a lot though.

I've written to the support, but they would not assign the request to anybody, perhaps because it is a new account or something. Please help me with the issue.

Hi Magic,

Please allow some time for our team to review and they will update you directly via your support ticket as soon as possible.
