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

It do not show any option to enter pasword.I do not remember my user name, but while using chat bot help, when I try "forgot user name" , it takes me to use email address and I am facing the same issue using gmail account.

Hi,

I will need your help right away, my excompany just deleted the email account they made me create for Upwork with all my personal data. 

I still have access to my Upwork account from my mobile and I wanted to change the email so can still be able to login to my account since I have a pending payment for the next week. I received the change email confirmation in my personal email but when I try to login to my old account since it says "This accounts uses Google to login" it logs in with the email that they already deleted and I can not recover. 

I'm having trouble contacting upwork and be able to file a ticket for that account. 

I need my money which I worked for.    

Please your kind help with this issue.

Hello there, it was interesting because I was able to log into my old email
to disconnect the "Google sign-in" email and then log into my new business
email. Now I don't have a problem with this anymore. If this happens again,
I will reach out for support. Thank you!!

On all common (Firefox, chrome) browsers in my windows desktop, When I try to login using Google SSO, it pops up a new window asking which Google account I would like to use. I select the relevant Google account. Then, the pop-up closes, and nothing happens on the main Upwork tab. Request assistance on this issue

 

I'm able to login using the Android App, and on a browser in my android Mobile

When I try to login to upwork the page seems to be broken. All options re blocked for me. I cleared my cache and deleted my history but it still happens, see screenshot.

Hi there,

 

I changed my email address, and clicked the 'Confirm Email Change Request' button in the activation email, then it's the new email address on my account page.

 

But I cannot login to UpWork with my new email address, it prompts me 'You have not activated the Google sign in method for this account. Please choose another sign in method for this email address.' I still can only login via my previous email address.

 

It's weird, is anyone in upwork able to help me to check it? Thank you so much in advance!

Hi Pradeep - Can you or someone from UpWork help me? I'm trying to enter in my tax information so I can get paid, but when I try to go to the tax page, it asks me to enter my password but I authenticate using Google OAuth2.0 SSO and do not have a password for UpWork. Even if I try to reset my password, it doesn't work because it says I authenticate with Google OAuth2.0 SSO. This is super frustrating and I need to start the payout ASAP so would really appreciate yours or someone's help from UpWork. 

 

Thank you!

Chris

Good day,

 

I just created this new account just to contact upwork support. I have another existing account with upwork but the email address that was linked to it was hacked and I got no access to it anymore. I cannot log in to my upwork as it was registered to an automatic google sign-in and it asked to log in to that email (the one that was hacked). Please help me get access to my old account and change the email address to it. I have an existing client, please help.
