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

Hello, How can I open a ticket? I would like to use my regular work email but the system says it is already in use. I am unable to sign in with that email so I started a new account with a different email. Thank you.

Upwork never should have incorporated Gmail sign-in.

Hi Pradeep,

 

I have sent you a private message and you did respond that support would be sending me an email. It's been a few days and I still have not heard from support.

 

Ist there any way to escalate this further because I am completely blocked with this issue.

Hi Arjay,

 

I appreciate your help in resolving this matter. I'm concerned that I went to the link you added in the above response to check the ticket and I see that I have no requests nor am I CC'd on any requests. I have included screenshots to show you what I am seeing on my page.

Hello upwork team,

 

I'm currently facing this issue when I try to log in to my upwork account in my laptop. The 'continue with google' button doesn't seem to work when I click on it. I didn't recieve any popup or redirects when I click it. I tried switching different browser, clearing the cache and allowing pop-ups and redirects in my browser settings but none works so far. I still can't log in to my account.

 

I hope you can help me sort this thing out.
