Hi, I have the same problem here. I accidentally closed my account and can't log in again. I hope you'll help me with this. I just made this account to reach out to you guys and I promised to delete it right away once I got my account back.

Hi

Thank you. waiting for your assistance

I accidentally deleted my account. I thought I was just closing the hiring client profile I'm allowed.

I made the same question two days ago and a mod asked me to send her more information. I did, then she never replied back. 

The account that was closed was a google linked account. I'd sign in with one click. Is that a hurdle in recovering it?

Thanks!

EDIT- I'm new to this space for support and I checked my old posts about the same issue and it looks like a ticket was created for me. I never was notified and I never went to the ticket to add information. It was created on monday and there was no activity and it looks like it was closed. I added a comment a little while ago and it looks like it's open again but not assigned to anyone. Will that ticket help me get my issue resolved or do I open another one? I don't see a way to close that one.

Also, I reached out to a mod yesterday but never heard back from her.

I had an old account that I lost access to. I think I deleted it and I sought to regain access a while ago but was neve able to. 

I have access to the email address it was linked to. 

Is closing this account required of me? This account has just been restored after I accidentally closed it on Monday. I would like to do things the right way but I don't want to risk not being able to get back on the platform.

[sofia2008]

The right way is to contact Support to regain access to your original (first) account and delete the one your are currently communicating with. You are only allowed one account, and this is the initial one.

Hi Karla,

It looks like you've already reached out to our team and a support ticket has been created with your concern. I highly suggest you continue communicating with our team through that ticket or email for updates and further assistance.

[8a5abff4]

They marked it solved since they restored this account but there is an older one.

[812dd08c]

Hi Karla,

I can see that you just sent a follow-up message to our team through the previous support ticket. Please keep an eye out for updates here or at your email address. We seek your patience while we address your concern.

Hi, I just signed up for Upwork as a freelancer a few minutes ago, but during setting up my profile, realized that it had automatically taken the name attached to my Google account.

I went into the settings to try to change that name (I wanted to use a shorter form), but ended up closing my account, thinking I'd just be able to sign up again with the same email but manually type the name.

I tried to sign up / log in again but it redirects me in a loop from "Account already exists" to "Not recognized for Google sign-in".

So I used an old burner email to log in and type this. I'll be happy to close this account if you can reopen/restore my original. I can share the original email address in PM.

I closed an account previously but I want to recover it, so I've created a new account with my hotmail address, and when I try to change my email it says it's already in use, but when I try to login with my gmail account this message appears:

"Google account ...@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."

As for signing up, you're only allowed to have one account on Upwork. Having multiple accounts is against our Terms of Service. Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Hello,

I am a user who wants to register for an Upwork account. After I closed my original account, I found that I couldn't sign up with the same email. The web page shows: "This email is already in use." Is there any way to solve this problem?

Thank you very much for your help, which is very important to me. 

[kochubei_valeria]

Hi Fai,

Since freelancers can only create one account on Upwork, it's not possible to sign up for another account with the same email. However, we could assist with reopening the original account and closing the new one. Let us know here or feel free to contact customer support via the Get Support button here if you need assistance with that.

Hello I am triying to use my primary email " **Edited for Community Guidelines**" for my account but when I try to login it says this email doesn't have an account and it takes me to create account page and when I create an account it say that the email provided has an account and it redirect me to log in page and the process goes on and on. I remember I used the email to create an account before but I deleted the account because I wasn't ready for freelancing. So I tried to create this temporary email inorder to create the account and try to change the email to " **Edited for Community Guidelines**" but it keeps saying the provided email has an account. I need help to use my primary email for upwork account.

Hi Ibrahim,

Thank you for your message. I checked and I see that the email address is linked to the previously closed account by you. You will be unable to use this email address on your new account.

Thank you,

Pradeep
