  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.

Hello.

I am also having a similar issue about being unable to log in with my account because of google sign in.

I made this account only to search any moderator that could help me and will close it once the problem resolved.

When I tried to log in it shows "You have not activated the Google sign in method for this account. Please choose another sign in method for this email address."

Please help.

I've enabled Google SIgn-In in my freelance id. I used to log in using that id but due to complete reset of my computer my google account is removed. Right now I can't log in that Google account. So I can't log in using Google Sign-In. Any other method is not available on my acccount. I have account credentials but I can't pass through because of Google Sign-In. I've posted it using another id which I made 2 days ago

Thanks Arjay. I've sent you a message. How do you suggest one contact you if they cannot access their account yet you're not "allowed" to have a secondary one, given you need to be logged in to post here? I tried the chat, you cannot get through to a person and it's an infinate loop. Hopefully we can resolve via direct message. Cheers, Ben

Thank you for your response Ben,

 

I can confirm that I did receive your message. I have escalated your report and your account information to the appropriate team. One of the members will be assisting you further via a support ticket. You can access your ticket and coordinate with the team on this page to resolve the issue.

I am experiencing the same issues signing into my client account after just having changed the email address associated with the account. I am getting a message saying "You have not activated the Google sign in method for this account. Please choose another sign in method for this email address."

 

The client account email address can be sent via PM to someone that can help me. I appreciate any assistance!

Hello, 

I am unable to login to my original upwork account with email address **Edited for Community Guidelines**

It say - "You have not activated the Google sign in method for this account. Please choose another sign in method for this email address." 

So, for the purpose of getting contact support, I made this another account.

 

PS: I followed solution here: ( Nikola S Moderator Solution )  and in Get Support it created a ticket. But at this moment, I am unable to see any ticket generated in My Request section.

When I try to log in with the Chrome browser that I normally log in to every day, it does nothing even though I click the Sign In With Google button. I tried logging in from a different browser and it succeeds. How can we fix this?

 

I can only login with my google account.

I deleted all the cookies in Chrome and it still didn't work.
