I closed my old account last year and i did not know about the one account per person rule. I had to create a second account now to get in touch with the support team. Would i be able to restore my old account back and close this account? If its not possible to restore my old account and i am no longer able to use upwork then i am happy to delete this account as well. I do apologize for unintentionally violating the TOS

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.

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

Is there anyway I can still use that email in an account again whether it this account or the previous account

[59b4665a]

[LuiggiR]

Hi Ibrahim,

I'd like to gently remind you that having multiple accounts is a serious violation of the Upwork Terms of Service. Please, click on my name and send me a PM with the registered email address of the original account. I'll assist you further from there.

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.

[759e32fa]

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.

My boss accidentally closed the account and now there is no way to restore the closed account. Letters in support, have not received any response for 3 days.

May be you should add some functionality to restore closed account?

Hi Mulugeta,

Can you please click on my name and send me a PM with the registered email address of the account in question? I'll be happy to assist you further.

I deactivated my account but want to activate it again. When I type in my email adress in account creation I get the error saying that email is already in use and if I would like to log in, but when I press log in it says that my email is not connected.

[LuiggiR]

Hi Tim,

Are you referring to an account different from the one you're reaching out from? If so, kindly click on my name and send me a PM with the registered email address of the account in question, I'll be glad to assist you further. As a gentle reminder, having multiple accounts is a serious violation of the Upwork TOS. 

[1874951a]

Hi Luiggi, thank you for responding. I'm not sure how to handle this. My name is **Edited for Community Guidelines**. I am on the distribution of the "careers" email. **Edited for Community Guidelines** setup our account with Upwork. I had setup an account under my name with email **Edited for Community Guidelines** I had cancelled it once I realized we already had an account setup. My problem now is that we are no longer using the "careers" email. I should be setup as the main account holder and Tim should be setup with a different email, but only to have access to post jobs and speak with candidates. I take care of job offers and the financials. We are also new to Upwork and have a freelenacer we need to hire asap.

[ArjayM]

Hi Maria,

Arjay here stepping in for Luiggi. I have escalated your concern and one of our team members will reach out to you directly via a support ticket. I suggest you communicate with our team through that ticket for further assistance in reinstating your account. Thank you!
