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.

Hi Vlad,

 

Having multiple accounts is a serious violation of the Terms of Service. Additionally, it is not possible to transfer your work history between accounts. We may be able to assist in restoring this old account you are referring to; could you please click on my name and send me a private message with the registered email address of the account in question? I'll gladly look into it.

Hi,

I've lost my email and can't access my old upwork account, so I've opened a new one. How can I restore or delete the other account?
Thank you for your consideration

Hello Upwork Team,

Can anyone help me to reopen my closed account as well? I haven’t been able to contact anyone for a long time since all my requests in the chatbot were probably ignored.

I also cannot write to any moderator who is present here.

Thank you!

Hi Luiggi.

I sent you a message, but I'm not sure if you received it.

My account has been closed, and I want to reactivate it. I have pending payments in my account, so I need help to recover those payments. There was an issue with identity verification, which led to the closure of my account. Now, I have completed a project on Upwork and I want to withdraw the payment for that project. However, my account is closed, and there seems to be no way to retrieve the payment from it.

Please assist me in reactivating my account and in withdrawing my pending payments.

Hi Muhammad,

 

I was able to access the information you shared for the account you need assistance with and confirmed that it's a different profile. Please be aware that sharing account information or allowing another user to access your account is strictly prohibited and severely violates Upwork's TOS.

 

Your friend should be able to contact our support team via the chatbot without logging in.

 
To access our support services, it would be best to follow the steps below:
 
  1. Navigate to the Help Center's navigation bar and select the "Contact Support" option.
  2. Choose the "Chat with Upwork" option to initiate a conversation with our chatbot.
  3. Type in a question or topic and click "Send." The chatbot will provide relevant articles related to your question.
We strongly encourage everyone to use the chatbot to access support options. Asking for assistance directly may not provide sufficient information for the chatbot to assist you appropriately - for example, creating a ticket for you with the right team according to your concern.

Hi, everyone! I've already sent my support request via website (Ticket ID: #46802507), but I want to update. Had to create this fake account just to reach the forum (sorry, didn't find the other ways to update my request without account)

 
I've signed up to UpWork 26.04.2024 around 3 AM and my account was immediately approved. But a few hours later, it was closed without me getting any e-mails, etc. The update is, I suppose the issue occurred because my browser autofilled my pseudonym instead of a real name during registration and I didn't notice it. I sincerely apologize for my mistake (after all, it was 3 AM). I'd like to know, if this is the reason and what can I do to get my account back & change my name.

Hello, I need to be able to access my original account. I was using it in December 2023, I haven't logged in for a few months, so I forgot my password. When trying to recover it, I receive an email to my associated email account, but when trying to follow the recovery procedure, the platform tells me that it is not possible to change it because it does not have the necessary information.

And then when I try to log in automatically with my Google account, I receive a message informing me that this email is not associated with Upwork.

I don't understand why this happens when I have been on this platform for more than 8 years. I want to recover my account, with my work history and the reviews shared by my former clients. I have ways to validate my identity, and I also remember the answer to my security question. In order to contact support and create this ticket, I had to open a new email account.
