Hi Syeda Tahoora,

Each Upworker must have their own unique account on Upwork. It's important that you don't share your login credentials with anybody and don't log into other users' accounts as it's a serious violation of the Upwork TOS.

You can use a time tracker on more than one laptop but not at the same time.

Thank you!

I am very sorry for this.

If two people try to log into the same account, then your account will be banned. Your husband needs to get his own account.

If a project requires you to work on two separate machines and you need to switch very often (e.g. multiple times per hour) you can track the time on one computer and access the second one remotely. That way you only track time on one machine and don't need to switch.

In the case you describe you MUST create another account and track time independently. The client would have to hire both of you separately. 

If the goal is to build up account history then create an agency and have your client hire both of you that way.
