I have an Upwork account from being a freelancer. I now also have an Upwork account through my company that I need to manage to be able to hire. When trying to post a job, Upwork is requiring me to verify via my phone number but then it gives me an error saying the phone number is associated with another account (my personal account). This is the only phone number I have and I need to be able to completely own the hiring and managing process. What is the workaround here?

I'm unable to verify my phone number due to receiving a message stating that I've attempted to change my PIN too many times. I still have access to my phone number.

I'm having the same issue as well, had no luck with the chat bot.

I have an old, inactive client account associated with my phone number that I no longer have access to using Google Authentication.  How do I get that account removed, or the phone number changed, so I can associate my phone number with my new account? 

 

I tried contacting support, but all I got was "chatbot jail" and no way to contact a support agent directly, even though the chatbot told me I needed to speak with an agent.
