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 had a previous account registered with the email address inf@xxxxxxx. However, when I try to log into my account, it asks for Google verification. Even though I know my password, I can't access my account. Can you help me?"

Hi,

I am not able to login to my freelancer account with email  **Edited for Community Guidelines**

May be it has been deleted by mistake. I am not receiving any reset password link nor can login through gmail.  

Getting this error:

Google account a...3@gmail.com is not recognized for Google Sign-In on Upwork. Please make sure you are using the same account that you have previously linked. Can someone please help??
I also tried to submit my query in Upwork support chat which says that my account will be reactivated in 48 hours. I am waiting since 3 days but no response.

Hello, I am trying to begin the identity verification process but cannot go through with it because it redirects me to the mobile website, which will not allow me to sign in. I am signed in on the mobile app as well as here, on desktop browser. The mobile website will not load the login page and I cannot get any help from customer support, so here I am. I select to sign in via Google and it only refreshes the page. I put in my email and hit confirm and it refreshes the page.

Hello

 

I can't withdraw my earnings on upwork because I login with a social account(gmail)

 

when I get to "get paid button"

 

i am asked to input my password to verify my identity. When I input my gmail password, it says verification failed. 

normally I login to upwork with social logging Google account. So i believe upwork is asking for the same login credentials to verify my identity so my payment get released.


upwork doesn't provide a social login verification option to do this. I am provided only input password field after clicking "get paid" 


kindly help sort this out. Is there a workaround.

Hello,

 

I have a problem using Google sign-in on desktop - it doesn't work at all.

 

I can only log in from my phone. I even tried downloading the desktop app, which redirects me to the same page to log in, in the browser. When I click "continue with Google," a classic Google sign-in window appears, but when I sign in, nothing happens. It doesn't log me in, nor give an error. As if the page didn't react. 

Thank you in advance for your response.
