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 problem here. I closed my account accidentally, and I just made a new account to reply here and recover it. Would you please help me also?

Hi, I accidentally closed my upwork account minutes ago and I'm struggling because I can't log in again. I just made a new account here since I need assistance. Would you help me resolve it?

 

Ps. I don't have any violations here in upwork, and I accidentally closed my account.

Hi, I have the same problem here. I accidentally closed my account and I can't log in again. I hope you'll help me with this. I just made this account and I promise to delete it right away once I reopen my previous closed account.

Hi!
I closed my unused account some time ago and now I want to create an account from scratch with actual information. But the system doesn't allow me to reuse email from the closed account, and also I cannot log in to the previous account. How I can solve this problem?
Also, I created this new account to contact support.

I had an existing upwork account and am attempting to create a new one for use with my new agency. 

 

I closed the old account, but I can't complete the verification process on my new account because it says my phone number is already in use. 

 

Can someone from upwork support please help me with this issue? 

Hi Neha,

 

I certainly understand your concern and we appreciate you reaching out to us. We can reinstate your old account but you need to close this new account to avoid violating our TOS.  Please note that you're only allowed to have one Upwork account. Having a duplicate accounting is a violation of Upwork TOS. Don't worry, I'll have one of our team members reach out to you directly via support ticket to assist you further with your concern.

I closed my old account last year and i did not know about the one account per person rule. I had to create a second account now to get in touch with the support team. Would i be able to restore my old account back and close this account? If its not possible to restore my old account and i am no longer able to use upwork then i am happy to delete this account as well. I do apologize for unintentionally violating the TOS

Earlier I had requested Upwork to close my agency account, but now I am interested in Re-Opening/Restoring the Account is there a way?

Note : I cannot see the Button Anymore inside Settings>Contact Info>Additional Accounts "New Agency Account", Now It only shows "New Client Account"

Thanks In Advance

Hi Upwork Team - I am facing the same issue. I signed up using my google id for freelancer account, then I realised that it is freelancer account and I actually wanted to post some jobs, so I closed that account and then when I tried to log into the Upwork client app, I was not able to login or signup or anything with my google account. Now, I had to use apple id to login due to this mess. Please help me reinstate my google account because that the id I want to use on upwork, else it will be too much pain for me to manage the "job posts" etc. Please help. I have alredy spent like 2-3 hours on this.

Hi Vinay,

 

I have escalated your concern and one of our team members will reach out to you directly via a support ticket with assistance on how to proceed with your request. You can check here or your email for updates.

I can't log in to my main account, so I made this account to make this post to fix my other account.

When I attempt to log in, it says that the email is invalid, when I try to sign up with the same email, it says the email is in use.

If possible I would like to restore the old account and either merge this one into it, or delete the account that I am posting this from.

Hi Brendan,

Hi, whenever I try to login using google,**Edited for Community Guidelines**
It says I can't log in with google. (Google account s...e@gmail.com is not recognised for Google Sign-In on Upwork. Please make sure you are using the same account that you have previously linked)
Then whenever I try to log in with just my email, I get a response that the account that the Username is incorrect?

I tried resetting my password, but whilst in filling my email **Edited for Community Guidelines** it doesn't allow me either.
When I want to make a new account with the email**Edited for Community Guidelines**  then I am not allowed because there is already an account with that email address.

Could someone help me out?

Hi Sven,

 

I checked and it looks like the account you're referring to is currently closed. If you'd like us to reopen it for you please click on my name above this post and send me a private message. We'd need to confirm some information about the account with you in order to proceed.
