When attempting to verify my email at https://email.mg.upwork.com/foo/baz, I'm getting this error:

 

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to email.mg.upwork.com because this website requires a secure connection.

 

Upon further inspection I see "Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for email.mg.upwork.com. The certificate is only valid for mailgun.org."

 

This seems like a Mailgun configuration issue.

 

It's really annoying, especially because it's impossible to contact Upwork support.

 

If support reads this, please fix this ASAP. I want to use your service.

Hi everyone, I submitted a request to change my email  and the website said "You have a pending request to change your email address to "email". To complete this request, please check your inbox at that email address to confirm ownership of that account." Its been two days but I haven't received any emails to verify the change.  How do I go about completing the switch?

Hello,

 

I need to change my e-mail adress. However the problem is that the new e-mail I want to change belongs to my deactivated account. So whenever I try to change it says ''This email is already in use''

Is it possible to delete that account entirely, so I can use the e-mail adress on this current account as It's so important for me & for the point of view of my future clients?

Thank you in advance,
Ali C.

It is designed that way because you are not allowed to have more than one freelancer account in a lifetime. This is a violation of Terms of Service. You will need to have your original account restored and cancel any other account you have.

Annie Jane B Retired Team Member

Hi Ali,

 

Sophie is correct, having multiple accounts is a violation of ToS.

 

We can check if the old account can still be restored. Could you please click on my name above this post and send me a private message with more information? Thank you!

So, i can login my upwork profile throw the phone, and for 2 month i did not use the browser version, so now i tried to login and you ask me for email, pass, security question and then verification code to email (that did not come to any of spam and promotions), so i did tried to resend it a couple of times, so it's time to make a post here

Help me! 

Also seems like there a bid trouble with security question, but i am 100% sure that i type it right way, because i did use the same answer for a couple of years and when i tried to change it on phone (cause i hope it will help me to get into the browser version) - you say its wrong, it's scary me a bit, but hope you can help me, i can use my phone number and email (if it's will works)
