Hi TK,

 

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. Please visit Contact Support and click the 'Chat with Upwork' button.
  2. Type a question or topic and select 'Send'. The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
  3. The chatbot will ask you to confirm if you need additional help. If you confirm that you need additional help, you will be asked to confirm the account type you need help with.
  4. From there, the support options available to you will be listed. Select either of the options to be able to contact the Upwork Support Team.

Hello I have a really old account I used to have mainly to see what jobs are out there what skills do i need and maybe to try something if my skill level matches. Now a few years later i want to log in and i cant. Account suspended when i tru to log in. I created this new account because I can't even contact you guys or open a ticket for me to get help. I hope now somebody can help me i saw someone made a post like this with a similiar issue so i hope that got resolved and my situation can get resolved aswell. And ofcourse i will close this account after i am done and the issue is resolved but i didnt see any other solution.

Hello Ziga,

 

Can you please click on my name and send me a private message with the registered email address of the account you're referring to? I'll be happy to look into it.

I wanted to login again on my upwork account.

Hello Miral,

 

Having multiple accounts isn't allowed, and it's a serious violation of the Terms of Service. I'm afraid that opening a new account isn't the solution to the issue you were having with the verification process; I'm sorry for any inconvenience that process may have caused you. 

 

Please click on my name and send me a private message with the registered email address of the account you closed so we can assist you in restoring it and completing your verification process.

Hello!
I can't log into my account. When I try to log in, it says that the password is incorrect, but I did not change it. What could have happened? The email address provided during registration is also unavailable. Perhaps someone stole my data and changed my passwords. How can I restore access?

Hello there!

I was wondering if there's any way to regain access to Upwork account even when I no longer have access to the email said account was linked to.

This is obviously not the account I'm talking about, since this one was created solely for the purpose of trying to recover my older account.

I tried to get help with the Support Bot, however it wasn't able to give me any good solution, or at least I wasn't able to use said help. So I was wondering if maybe I could help through here. 

Thanks in advance!!!

Sure. Some moderator here will help you with that. Provide all info about account to him.

Hi, I faced with an account suspension due to Upwork policy about accounts in CIS countries.

 

As of now, I moved outside of the CIS region and do not fall into the criteria for account suspension. But when I create a request for account restore, I receive a message saying "However, the account you submitted it for either doesn’t exist or is still active (not suspended).". As you may guess, I still can't log into my account.

 

Could you please help me to unlock my previous account so I can continue my activity on Upwork?

 

Thanks
