Hi AJ,

 

If you need help signing in to your account, 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.

Thank you,

Pradeep

I have now created a new account with a different email, but the people who have submitted there job cv's I'm now unable to communicate with or select someone to do the work I have set out.

Hello,

 

This is a secondary account. 

 

Issue: I cannot login my main account. Login with my email but it says " This email address uses Google Sign-In." After trying to login with Google Sign-In, I get the following message "You have not activated the Google sign in method for this account. Please choose another sign in method for this email address."

 

Summary: Need Help - cannot log into my main account on Upwork.

 

After looking on the forums - I need a mod to contact me.

Update: It has been 20 days now and no one on the support team has contacted me regarding my issue. I have opened a issue ticket while it states that they will reply within 24-48 hours. I have been waiting weeks for a reply and nothing has happened at this time.

 

Can someone at Upwork contact me? I have not heard back from Arjay

Hi D,

 

I checked and can confirm that our team did reach out to you directly to the email address that you are having trouble with, back in September. Could you please check your inbox from that date and also your junk/spam folder in case the email was sent there?

Each time I try to log in to my originally created account it says 'you have not activated the Google sign in method for this account. Please choose another sing in method for this email address.' 

Then if I choose another sign in method it takes me back to 'continue with google' becuase it is a gmail account. I have created this account to contact you because I was unable to do so when I wasn't logged in. Could you please let me know how I get this sorted to log into my original account. 

Thanks

You have not activated the Google sign-in methods for this account, and please select another sign-in method for this email address, these are the error messages I get when trying to log into my other account. I'm hoping you can help me with this. I appreciate it.
