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.

Hi, 

 

I have been trying to verify my email and have been getting nowhere fast. I click the "verify email" button in my email which brings me to a new page that tells my that my email verification has failed, from there I have tried to resend a new verification to my email (multiple times) and never recieved and understand that each time is a new ticket and each time the others expire, at least thats how my understanding of how things go. There are no physical urls in the email to copy and past ein the email to do it that way so im at a dead end and not sure what to do at this point. Any help helps. Thank you.

Thank you for the reply, 

 

I had done that before I checked the response and did not see a result but decided to give it a few hours and it seemed to do the trick. 

 

Appreciate your time.

I have been trying to sign up for a few days now, and am not receiving the verification email. It is not in the junk mail folder. After searching in this forum, I see that others have had this issue as well. If someone could please reach out and help me resolve this so I could set up my profile, I would appreciate it.

Hi, I'm having the same issue. Tried to verify my email through different browser and on my phone, however I'm getting the same error message:  Email verification failed!

I am new to Upwork and am trying to verify my email. I received the email in my email account and clicked the embedded "verify email" button, which takes me to the Upwork site, where it tells me my job posting is in draft until I "verify my email address." I have tried a couple of times, but no luck. Not sure why it won't verify. Any suggestions are appreciated.

When I click on the link in the verification email, a message appears: "Your account is already verified... Redirecting..." and I land on the same verification page telling me to verify my email. No matter what I click, I always come back to this verification page. If I click on the "Resend verification email" button, a red exclamation point appears at the top of the page with a box that could contain an error message but is empty instead.

When I click "verify email" in the email from upwork it takes me to the posting page.

 

The posting page says this - "Verify your email address to post your job."

 

How do I fix this problem?
