Don't have access to Verified Phone Number / Not receiving security code on my phone

I don't have access to my old verified phone number and need to update it with a new one.

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

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.

Hi Andrea,

 

It seems that support page does not load from different browsers even when I cleared history. It keeps loading nonstop

Hi there,

 

I'm sorry to hear about that. You should be able to access the same support ticket as a copy is being sent to your email as well. 

 

Regarding the problem you are having with non-stop page loading, have you tried switching to another browser to see if you are able to access the ticket?

Thank you.

Hi Luigi, 

I'm having the same problem. I no longer have the mobile number attached to my account and as soon as I click on settings to update it, it asks me to verify the number. 

 

Thanks,

It refuses to let me change my phone number because it wants me to authenticate me account with my old number. I was told I had to 100% answer all these questions that I DO NOT remember because I’ve barely used this account. AND WHY IS IT SO HATD TO JUST SPEAK TO SOMEONE IN SUPPORT??? This should not be this difficult! I’ve since taken my maiden name back too. I’ve never had a “job” until the one I just accepted. I’ve never been paid for anything. I can’t do a w9. I can’t do anything because I cannot get the help.

Hi.

I have lost my phone and authenticator account.  I need to urgent assistance to get back in.  I have literally had to create an account just to be able to access support.  URGENT.

Thanks

Andrew

And to put in context, was a member of Elance/Odesk before since 2011 - so a long established account. 

Hi Andrew,

 

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?

Please ignore my error below/above.

Hello, 

I am unable to find a way to submit or open a support ticket to update the phone number. The only way I was able to get in was to reset my password and have the 6 digit verification sent to my email. But the prompt on my pc and mobile for verification often asks for my old number. Also, it would be difficult to for clients to contact when I submit proposals if my phone number is outdated. Please help me to submit a support ticket to update the contact information. 

 

Kind regards,

Isaaiel Fox
