ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Hi Eric, 

 

If you need help verifying your phone number because you're not receiving the code, we’ll need to ask you to confirm some private account details in order to help you. At Upwork, protecting your privacy is our priority. With this in mind, it would be best if you reach out directly to our support team so they can assist you within a private and secure channel of communication. 

 

How do I reach a human in customer support?

 

  1. Select Get Support at the bottom of the Help Center page
  2. Type a question or topic and select "Send." The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
  3. If we don't find the information you need after a few tries, you’ll see an option under the article selections to "Contact Support"
  4. Select "Contact Support" and follow the options provided

Hi I am struggling to raise a request as I cannot activate 2-step verification. when I add my answer xxx xxx, I get a message "Answer should be 4 to 60 characters long (only latin characters are allowed)".

 

Answer is 6 characters long, actually 7 with the space.

 

Any help appreciated.

Regards,

Gustav

Hi Gustav,

 

Could you please make sure your security answer doesn't contain any non-English characters or symbols? Let us know if you still continue experiencing the issue.

Hi Valeria,

 

It is plain english alphabet characters...

Hi Valeria,

 

I see that it does not like spaces... resolved.

Hi Valeria,

 

I have problem with my 2-step verification. I lost my verification code on mobile because i deleted all the cookies from website and i can't login in the platfom anymore. is it possible to deactive it to let me go in again and than i will restore and save it again on my mobile?

Or there is another way to log in ?

For some reason, every time I try to login to my account, I'm unable to receive the sms verification code. I tried with the email verification code, but nothing was sent.

 

The registered phone number is correct because I can see the last three digits.

 

I keep getting the same email everytime I try to login to my account saying that someone tried to login to my account from an unrecognized device. But of course it's me.

Hi Ikechukwu,


Thanks for reaching out to us. Are you referring to another account? If so, could you please send me a private message with the Upwork username or registered email address of the account in question? I'll check that for you and assist you accordingly.

 

Thank you.

Hi,

 

Need help here, I wanted to change my mobile num since it was deactivated already. I clicked my profile settings and it directly went to a page that I should put the code sent to the deactivated num. No additional option is shown just a confirmation & a log out button.

 

Thanks in advance for the help.
