Hi Daniel,

 

If you need help with your phone number because you're not receiving the code or don't have access to it anymore, 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. Please visit Contact Support and click the ‘Chat with Upwork' button.
  2. Type a question or topic and select ‘Send’. The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
  3. The chatbot will ask you to confirm if you need additional help. If you confirm that you need additional help, you will be asked to confirm the account type you need help with.
  4. From there, the support options available to you will be listed. Select either of the options to be able to contact the Upwork Support Team.

Hello, it's not easy to log back into the Upwork platform once logged out.  I also faced a similar problem sometimes ago when I mistakenly logged out, but I was lucky to get back into the platform.  Therefore, since that time, I decided I would never more log out of Upwork.

 

However, recently, I have been facing another problem, I was trying to get into the platform and I was asked to do a 2 step verification, without which I might later face problems like not being able to withdraw funds, change password, etc.

 

It saddens me to say that when I tried to follow that instruction, I got stuck at the point where the platform needed to send a verification code to my SMS.  They said they had sent the codes, yet I could not find any.  Hence, I have not been able to get into the Upwork on my computer.  I am still on it, hoping to use other options to be able to scale through soonest.

Hello,
I have a problem adding any two-step verification option.
I tried adding the text message option, but when I added my number, I did not receive the six-digit code no matter how much I waited or how much I tried to resend. I simply don't receive anything.
When I try to add the second two-step verification option, which is the authentication application code, it does not work either. It keeps loading and does not show me the QR code.

What can I do to solve this problem?
Thanks,

I have updated my contact details on my Upwork profile but whenever I log in to my Upwork profile Upwork sends an authentication code to my old mobile number.
