Hi Chandrakant,

 

If you need help restoring 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. Select Get Support at the bottom of the Help Center page
  2. Type a question or topic and select "Send." The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
  3. If we don't find the information you need after a few tries, you’ll see an option under the article selections to "Contact Support"
  4. Select "Contact Support" and follow the options provided

I can't use my original e-mail in upwork. When I create an account using the e-mail it says the e-mail is already in used but when I log-in it says username is incorrect. Can anyone help me deal with this problem? I really want to use my original e-mail in upwork. Thank you in advance.

I have an account associated with the email **Edited for Community Guidelines**  I can't log in to it because it says google sign-in is not activated for this email address... I only changed my email address but used the account after it but now I can't log in to my account...I have to deliver the order in 3 days.

 

Your help will be appreciated.

I closed my account a few months ago, I did not know I would not be able to access it again. I have opened a new account with the same email address. I had been on Upwork and established myself as a freelancer, plus had contacts I wanted to maintain. Could you please help me

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

I'd like to reopen my freelancer account. I was told to contact customer support but for some reason you guys don't have a simple contact email address so I had to sign in with my employer profile just to post something.

Hi Mulugeta,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. Please know that if you want to be a freelancer and a client at the same time, you will have to use the same account to log in to Upwork but will have separate user profiles. Having multiple accounts using different email addresses is against our Terms of Service.

 

If you're a client now, but would like to do work as a freelancer or agency:

  1. Go to Settings  My Info.
  2. Click the Create New Account link at the bottom.
  3. Select New Freelancer Account.
  4. Once set up, use the account menu at the top-right of your screen to switch between using Upwork as a client, freelancer, or agency.

You can read more about this here.

 

As for contacting support for account-specific questions, or if you are still stuck on the automated chat, an agent from our support team can help.

 

To speak with a human for help using Upwork:

  1. Go to the Help Center.
  2. Select “Get Support” at the bottom of your screen.
  3. Type a question or topic and select "Send". The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
  4. If we don't find the information you need after a few tries, you’ll see an option under the article selections to "Contact Support."
  5. Select "Contact Support" and follow the options provided.
