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 account in upwork but when I try to log in, it asks me for a verification code that is never sent neither by text message nor email. I already checked the spam folder. I had to create this new account only to be able to write here for support.

Hi Vicente,
Could you please click on my name above this post and send me a private message with more info about the account you need help with?

I am trying to verify my phone number and it will not go past the code. Now it won't even resend the code at all.
What do I do?

Kirstie,
Most computer systems are programmed for 3 tries within 24 hours. Try again tomorrow and this time type the code and don't copy / paste because extra invisible characters can be picked up. Have an awesome day!

Greetings all,
I am not receiving the text verification code that is needed to create a new account. Have others encountered this issue? Unfotunately, this means I can't complete my profile.

I am having the same issue, and it's actually VERY aggravating! I just want to use your site, and this CONSTANT txt verification with NO other options to verify is a complete UI hindrance. Please have some discussions with your security team as a lease needs to be put on them to discover what's keeping people safe and what is just a stupid and plain to see obstacle that by the comments here,....A LOT of your users are having issues with.

Hello,
I am attempting to complete the last step in setting up my account, but I am not receiving a verification code via text. I have attempted multiple times and it is still not coming through. It seems like many others have had the same problem, where can I get support with this issue?
Thanks

I am not receiving the confirmation phone number from Upwork. I have tried over 15 times. Why?
Mar 3, 2023 05:39:43 AM by Billy S
Hello, writing to let you know that I'm having some trouble completing the signup process because I haven't received the SMS verification code required for registration. I've double-checked my phone number and it's correct, and I'm able to receive SMS messages from other people without any issues. But for some reason, I'm not receiving any verification code from your service despite several attempts. Would you be able to help me out with this? Thanks in advance for your help.
