Hi Muhammad,

 

If you need help verifying your email, 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.

I have tried to verify my email address with no success. I have resent the email verification a dozen times. I have tried pasting the link in different browsers and I have clicked the link dozens of times. I keep getting the same message, email verification failed. There is no way to contact a support?

Hi Mark,

One of our team members will reach out to you on the email you have used to create your account, thank you for reporting.

Thank you Goran!

I really appreciate it.

I have repeatedly experienced the same issue. I got tired of trying.

Hi Amanda,

 

I checked and the confirmation email was sent to your email successfully. Make sure you've entered the email address correctly and lastly use the option to change the email address you provided if you are still having issues. Afterwards, Please resend the email one more time, check your inbox and spam folder, check the settings for your email provider and make sure emails from Upwork aren't being blocked. Let us know if you received the confirmation email.

I have done that multiple times. It keeps taking me back to confirmation
page. Its a loop.

Me too I tried soooo many times since about November 2018. Today I decided to change my hotmail email address to gmail and then resent the verification email and it instantly worked....

I am also having the same problem verifying my email. I get it in my email but when I click on the link it keeps saying email confirmation failed. I have sent it over and over again and keep getting the same message. Please help.

If it helps the verification link inside the email doesn't look fine, it contains two characters ~~. It's like .../token/~~...
But anytime i request a new verification email the link is the same so i don't know what to do.

I received the email successfully, but the link to validate didn't work.
Then I tried to resend a new validation email to the same email address,
and it will not resend for some reason.

I am experiencing the same problem, but the verification email outright does not reach my inbox. I checked spam trash and every folder possible. I made sure I spelled my email address correct. Someone please help.

Hi Alexander,

I just checked your account and can confirm that your email is already verified, thank you.

I’m having trouble getting my business email verified. The email I used for
this account is a personal email. But I recently tried to make an account
with a business email and the verification email won’t send so I can’t even
continue filling in my profile on that account. If someone would take the
email address to review it that would be nice.
