I am not able to log in into my other account cause when I go and try I receive this error message when I have already used my account and posted jobs "You have not activated the Google sign in method for this account. Please choose another sign in method for this email address."

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Hi AJ,

 

If you need help signing in to your account, weโ€™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 โ€˜Chat with Upwork' button.
  2. Type a question or topic and select โ€˜Sendโ€™. 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 to create  new account since I can't login to my existing account.

 

Please fix this "you have not activated the google sign in method for this account" error.

 

I don't know what to do since your community.upwork.com freezes every time I try to access resources and you have no form of support chat or phone number.

 

I need this fixed as soon as possible!

Can someone please assist me? I haven't used Upwork in a while and when I tried to login to my freelancer account, it wouldn't let me. It says this account uses Google sign-in, and when I try to do it that way, it says my account isn't recognized.

 

I have a lot of data on this account and I need to recoup that. Thanks!

Did you email this issue to Upwork?

My account was blocked for not submitting KYC. I emailed this issue to them. They took 3 weeks, but now I can use my account. I am sure they will look into this matter. They have a strong analytics team.

I was adding a payment method when it asked me to re-enter the password. How can I enter my password when I don't have one? I used Google sign-in so no need for a password.

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.  

Hi Mufaz,

I'm sorry to hear about your issue when logging in to get paid. Iโ€™ve escalated your post to a support ticket where one of our agents can assist you further.

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.

Hello,

 

How can I switch from using Google to sign in to using my email and password instead?

"Why can't I just log in with a username and password? It keeps asking me to log in through Google Mail."

Hello Orest V

There, both option are availble, you can use any of them to login your Upwork account. 

Upwork requires logging in through Google Mail or other third-party accounts for security purposes and to streamline the login process. If you're facing issues, you can try resetting your password or contacting Upwork support for assistance.

Hi Orest,

 

If you have registered your Upwork account using 'Sign in with Google' option, you will need to use your Google credentials to log into Upwork. You can also use your Google email address and Upwork password to log in.

Hi community.

 

I am having issues adding tax information to my account. When I created my account I used google sign in, but when I wanted to add the information it asked me for my password which I never set it. When I click in forgot my password the app kicked me out. The same option if I do in the security section.

 

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
