Hi Jannatul,

You can edit the phone number any time by going to your Settings> Contact Info and then clicking "Edit" next to your location. The phone will become editable.

I don't see "contact info" in settings. I had a client call me and just want to make it so that they can only reach me via email/upwork. How do I do that?

Hello, how do I change my phone number? I'm new to Upwork and I've lost the sim that was registered and every time I go to Settings it's asking for an OTP sent to the lost sim. Thank you.

Thank you.

I have the same problem.  I can't edit my profile without providing the verification code that is sent to a number I no longer have.  Is it possible to reset this number so I can edit my profile and start working on upwork?  Or will I have to make a new account?

 In regards of my phone number. Unfortunately, I lost my sim and it needs to be used as a tool for verification code. But how can I log in when it need to have one time pin to access my account? Please help me to reset my phone number for my account.

Hi Avery,

I change my number. I'd like to change my number to Upwork. However, whenever I try to look at the settings it says I have to confirm the old number. 

Please let me know what to do further about this.

Thanks!

Hi Goran,

 

I need to change my phone number authorization as well. Going to Settings > Contact Info and edit does not work with me because it requires a "Text message code" verification. The code is being sent to my old phone number which is no longer with me (was last for a week now).

 

Thank you very much. Hope you can help me too as soon as possible.

Many thanks!

Hi Gordon,
I'm having a similar problem: I cannot access my upwork "get paid" tab because it's asking for confirmation sent to my old mobile number, which is no longer active. I tried to resolve this by changing it to my new, but I can't even access "settings," because it's the same problem: it says to confirm it's me by typing the code sent to, once again, my old, unusable number, and there's no alternative way to receive the code. I have no access to my pay, so please tell me how I can resolve this!

Hi, I am currently locked out of my original Upwork account. I have enabled two step verification but I do not have access to the old phone number anymore. This is extremely frustrating as I have no way of changing the number or verifying my account in any other way. To even reply on this forum, I needed to login which I cannot do from my original account. I finally had to create a new Upwork account just to reply on this mail. Can anyone kindly help me recover my original Upwork account please?    

Hi Narendra,

 

I'm sorry to hear about that. Could you please send me a private message with the Upwork username or registered email address of the account in question so that I can check and assist you further?

Thank you.
