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 created an Upwork account yesterday but when I tried using my business email address, I received the “This email is already in use” error message so I used my personal address.  I have never had an Upwork account so I am not sure how this is possible.  I figured I would try to log in using my business email that it says is already used and I receive the “Oops! Username is incorrect” error message.  I have tried changing my email address from my personal to my business and again, I get the same the “This email is already in use” error message.

 

Can someone please help?

Hello Upwork community, 

 

I came across a problem when trying to change my current E-mail address, since it does not work anymore. But a prompt keeps saying' This email is already in use'. So I could not get my E-mail address changed.  

 

Could anyone please help me solve this problem?  

Thanks in advance!

for the past couple of years, I'm not active in Upwork and just want to activate again this year and find work, however after activating my account it says the profile is no longer available and now all the reviews from my clients are gone and the status I gain before. can I still retrieved the profile that I have before including the portfolio and reviews from clients? 

Hi Gloriedyl,

 

Thank you for reaching out. I checked your account and can confirm that it has been resumed. Please feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.

I created an account quite a few years ago and in 2020 I got an email Log in to reset your profile. I ignored it, because I was working on something else and didn't need to freelance. Now after 2 years I want to start freelancing for real and I can't seem to login/signup to the account. I create another account(this one) to contact support, and I'll close it after I get the account back.

Can please someone help me?

Hey there Upwork community and support personnel!

 

I had created an Upwork profile a few years back and I never utilized it. I logged back into it a few days ago, filled in my info, and browsed for some jobs... then, when I tried logging back in that same evening, I was hit with the 'oops! username is incorrect' error message on the login screen.

 

Tried different browsers, clearing cookies etc. Nothing seems to have helped.

 

There really should be some way of submitting a support request at the login page, since this error message is apparently, quite common.

 

So users, like me, are forced to create a 2nd account, on another mail, just to post a support request because for some mysterious reason their account email is not recognized anymore.

 

Is there a 'standard' way of solving this issue?

 

Thanks in advance for your help
