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

My work email is no longer hosted by Google so I'm unable to sign in using SSO. I had created a password to sign on before the gmail was deactivated but Upwork does not give me the option to sign in with my password --only Google SSO.

Hi!
It seems like the Google sign-in method hasn't been activated for your new email.
You can resolve this by going to your account settings, navigating to the sign-in methods, and ensuring Google is linked to your new email. If it's still linked to the old one, try removing it and re-adding it with your new email.
You might also need to check your Google account permissions.
I hope it'll help

Hello Upwork,

I'd like to inform you that I cannot access my account through Google account. whenever I try it shows that "The email address uses Google sign-in". For this reason, I haven't been able to log in to my account for a long time and cannot apply for any work. For your information, I have attached a screenshot of the problem.
 
I hope soon I will hear from you.
 

Best regards,

Mishkatul Islam

I had to make this account because my main one won't work. I used to log in via username/password, but now it says it uses Google for SSO. When I try to sign in via google, it opens the pop-up, I click to confirm/continue, and then it closes the pop-up but doesn't show an error message nor logs my account in.

 

How can I log in to my original account? I have freelancers waiting on me and I can't send them payment. I'm not sure how else to submit a support ticket than asking here... thanks in advance for any assistance!

Hi, I sent the PM but your reply was addressed to someone else for a problem that was not my issue. Not sure if the wrong ticket got closed out or mine is still in process, please advise. Thanks!!

My Upwork account has a weird glitch where I can't sign-in with my email and password or Google sign-in, the minute I enter my email and press continue to enter my password I get this message ''this email address uses Google sign-in'' and when I try to sign-in with google, I would get an error this account doesn't have google sign-in setup. I tried to clear the history and un-sync my Google account in my Google Chrome browser and sync it again, after I tried multiple times it let me in my Upwork account without asking for my password then I tried to remove the Google sign-in feature in my account settings to avoid this login error but it won't let me either. when I try to go to settings and press edit next to the password it doesn't do anything. I would appreciate it if anyone can help. Thanks

Hi, I have the same problem. I'm sending this message from a newly created Upwork account because I can't login to my main one. The issue is that when I try logging in with my Google account, it says it doesn't have Google sign in set up. When I login with my email address it says 'this email address uses Google sign-in', so there's no way I can get logged in. Could I get some help with this please? Thanks in advance.

Hi Ivy. Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately I don't see a button anywhere on your profile to send you a PM. Is there another way I can send you my email address?

Hello Upwork Team,

I cannot log in to my account through Google. Whenever I try it shows that "This email address uses Google sign-in". I already faced the same problem a few weeks ago, and now again the problem I am facing. I would like to know why this problem is occurring, and I want a permanent solution as well.

 

Best Regards,
