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 haven't logged in for at least six months and now my profile is gone. I created a new profile, but really hope this is some way to get my data back.

Hello,

I have a freelancer account and had an agency account in it.

I wanted to create a new agency account so I deleted the old one but now I can't find the option to create an agency account.

I only see option to create a client account.

Can someone please help me to either create a new account or reinstate my old agency account?

 

Thanks,

Vikas

Hey,

I had two types of account - client and freelancer. I closed client account and it also closed a freelancer.

 

Please help to reactivate it.

Hi Vitalii,

 

We appreciate you reaching out to us. Please note that If you have a freelancer and client profile, your entire Upwork account (both freelancer and client areas) will be closed when you close either profile type. Feel free to check this help article for more details.

 

Could you please reach out to me via PM (click on my name) with the email address associated with your original account so that I can assist you further? Looking forward to your response.

Hi,

 

Seems like I have no other way to reach support and get my problem addressed.

 

I'm https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~012aeb09289b65bf9b and my account was locked on Jun 1 because I was located in Russia at that time.

 

Now I've moved to Kazakhstan and would like my account to be reviewed for reinstatement.

 

I've created the following requests by email recently

https://support.upwork.com/hc/requests/35706725
https://support.upwork.com/hc/requests/34955875
https://support.upwork.com/hc/requests/35669231
https://support.upwork.com/hc/requests/35693857

 

but I have a strong feeling that I've been ignored.

 

I can't log in and update those requests so I had to register a new account to be able to write here.

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks,
Anatoly

Dear community,

 

I created an upwork account many years ago. I tried to login with this very email today, and the dialog said that the email/username is incorrect. This sounded like the email doesn't exist. But then I tried to sign up anew and got the error "this email is already in use". 

 

I solved this problem by creating a new account with another, secondary email address. But I am afraid I have two accounts now and I'd love to use my primary address for my (up)work.

 

Thanks so much for your help!

Hi,

 

I can't sign in to my main account. I just get the "Oops! Username is incorrect.". Figured my account was deleted for inactivity or something so I tried re-registering it, but then it says "This email is already in use."

 

It seems my account is stuck in limbo.

Hi Stacey,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. Could you please click on my name and send me a PM with more information about the account you are referring to? 

 

Please know that freelancers are not allowed to have more than one account on Upwork, regardless of the old account being closed, or suspended. Having multiple freelancer accounts is a serious violation of the Upwork Terms of Service.

Hello. I created this temporary account because I'm unable to log in with my previous account. I try to log in but I get an error message, both with email or Google, but if I try to create an account, it tells me that that email already has an account. Since the platform doesn't give any "forgot you're password" option can someone please help on what to do? I really don't want the account to be linked to this email.

Thank you.
