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?

I have an Upwork account for more than 10 years now, and it's verified with my ID and mobile number. I've done a lot of work as well. Recently, when I tried to log in, it gave me an SMS verification code that wasn't received on my mobile. Then it informed me that this method is no longer available. The only way is to use the verification form, which is not working and never submitted. The same thing happens when I try to reset my password; it redirects me to the same verification form. I've attached screenshots of this verification form.
Has anyone else experienced this issue, or what should I do?!

Hello. I've tried setting up my local bank account, but despite completing the necessary information, I did not receive any SMS verification code. I also attempted an alternative method but encountered similar difficulties.

Hi! I have been trying to withdraw my earnings but I can't receive any OTPs. I have been trying since yesterday morning. I can't seem to find a way to contact Upwork customer support too.

I've enabled two-step verification for my Upwork account with the ID b1bf9df9.
However, upon logging out and attempting to log back in, I'm encountering an issue where I'm not receiving the two-step verification code on my registered phone number.
Despite filling out the two-step verification form, it doesn't seem to be functioning properly.
The chat bot assistance provided is not helpful, as it cannot resolve my account issue.
Do you have any suggestions on how to proceed in resolving this matter?

My main account (under my business email), which I use regularly, will not let me log in or reset the password. I got an email recently saying I need to update my billing information, so I've been trying to log in to do that, but it won't let me log in. When I try to reset my password, I get the following error: "Password recovery error: Upwork could not locate the information needed to recover your password. Please try again."
The chat bot is not helpful at all. It just keeps redirecting me to the same information with zero answers and zero ways to escalate or speak with someone directly. I had to create this new account with another email address just to try and find more direct support.

Hi Lauren,
I am facing the exact same issue.
Please let me know if you find a solution.
Even support email is not provided in contact us, making it difficult to connect with them.

I didnt enter the pin that was sent to my phone in time and it said it was no longer valid. I was busy so I tried again an hour later, and now it wont send me a pin. It does nothing when I hit the "verify pin" button next to phone number and it wont let me move forward without doing that. I tried logging out and back in. I tried using a different browser, but nothing seems to work. So I cant finish making my profile. How do I solve this?

Now the issue is I do not receive any verfication code. I tried using the chat option to figure this out, but not sure if that is going anywhwere.
Thank you,
Rafael

Whenever I try to login into my upwork account and type the password it says that my password has been compromised though it has not been compromised and then it asks the security answer and when I answered it, though I am right, it's says that I am facing problems in answering this and I, though, am not facing problem. Takes me to a form that I need to fill to reset my password and has questions that I am unable to answer such as account number and the date of transactions which I don't remember because I do not have current access to the account and PayPal Account number though I do not have any account related to PayPal. I know that the PayPal question maybe may not be necessary but the transaction date and the first six numbers of the account number I cannot answer keeping me away keeping me from getting access to my account.
