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

Hi,

I have the same issue with an old freelancer account that I deactivated: I wanted to create a client account inside my freelancer account to validate the process, and upwork allowed me to do so.

 

After some tests, I decided to delete the client account and no problem was shown in the process.

Now I can't login into upwork with my old freelancer account!

 

This must be a upwork bug since if I login with my email or user ID, upwork replies: "Oops! Username is incorrect."

I even tested to create a new login with my old freelancer email and upwork replied: "This email is already in use".

 

I tried the "Get Support" popup button which of course is uselless...

Is there any other way to get help from upwork?

 

By the way, I need to access my old freelancer account since I've created a new upwork account with my professional email and want to copy profile and project data to my new upwork account.

Is it possible that upwork detected my 2 accounts and blocked my old account?

It so, upwork should have sent me an email informing that...

 

Thanks

I am unable to log in to Upwork with my account.

But when the login UI comes and I enter my email, it's showing - Invalid username or email.

 

Even in the forgotten password window, after giving the user mail still, it is showing as - Invalid username or email.

 

Can someone pls help me log in with the account?

You can try "Continue with Google.". If you have your Google account connected to your UpWork account, you should be able to sign in that way.

Recently my google account connected to my Upwork account got removed and I cannot log in to my account. I tried contacting support but it just shows me the bot everytime and dosen't let me get into contact with upwork directly. I need this account back as soon as possible because I have clients waiting for my work to be sent to them.

Hi and thanks for reaching out. I have lost my G-mail password and
therefore I can not reach my Upwork account **Edited for Community Guidelines**. I
believe it is about 50 USD in the account, but most of all it worries me
that new clients not can contact me and see my profile and what earlier
clients have said about my work. I also had an ongoing work for "Tommy"
from the Netherlands that I not can finish now. /Per Svensson

Hello, 

 

Is it possible to recover an account that I closed about a month ago? I'd like to have it back because it has my reviews and amount earned. I would really appreciate any help with this!!

Hi Nikki,

 

Could you please click on my name and send me a PM with more information about the account you are referring to? I will be sure to look into your message and assist you accordingly. 

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.

I think you should never delete your account better yet just leave it on pause. you should be fine to just leave as is.
