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 an account that, when I sign in, says to sign in using google SSO, when I try that I get an error that says "You have not activated the Google sign in method for this account. Please choose another sign in method for this email address."

 

Where Can I get some support for this?

I have a separate account where manage my jobs and pay the people I hire. I've been waiting since Monday to have someone respond to a previous post. I signed in with Google SSO after the account has been established and now it's stuck in a state that won't allow me to log in to manage jobs.

 

If I can't get this resolved within 48 hourts, I will refuse further charges to my credit card and start paying my developers outside of the system. There needs to be a better way to reset accounts, this is a terrible user experience.

Hi Brian,

 

I'm sorry for not being able to get back to you sooner. Please be reminded that users are only allowed to have one account and having multiple accounts is a violation of Upwork's TOS. Could you please click on my name and send me a PM with the email address associated with the account you're referring to? I'll surely look into that and assist you accordingly. Looking forward to your response.

When I first registered at Upwork, I used my constitutional (university) email. I just recently graduated, and I'm afraid that my univ would delete my constitutional gmail. So I went to settings and changed it to my personal gmail.
It both received a message that Upwork has changed my email, one to my old one saying that it changed, and one to the new one that has a button that I click that says Confirm Email Change Request that sent me to the Log In page. When I tried to log in, it just says that my google account can not be accessed at the moment.

It's been 2 days and I can't still log in using the new one, I can only log in using the old email.
How long should I wait before I can use the new one? or is this an error to Upwork's system? Thanks for the help!

 I completed my sign-up through Google, and it asked me for a password. However, since I signed in through Google, I am unable to enter my password and access the settings. Please help.
