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

You will need to contact the support team for the service you are trying to access. They should be able to assist you in resetting your security question or password. You may need to provide proof of ownership of the account or answer some security questions to verify your identity before they can assist you

Whenever I try to reset the Upwork password it takes me to a blank page which is attached,

 

I can log in fine with my google credentials, but the upwork password.  for some reason is incorrect. I know my security question, but the password reset page is just blank. Any one can fix this?

I managed to reset it. I had to update my security question and only then did it take me to the reset password page and sent it to my email. This problem is solved. Appreciate the feedback.

Hello, yesterday i create another upwork account with different email address, and everything went well until I was able to submit proposals for several jobs, but this morning when I tried to log in with that account I got the message "Oops! Username is incorrect." even though I know that the email I entered is correct.

I have tried to contact CS with the get support feature, but the one who answered was a robot and don't get any solutions.
Please help me
