Hi Eric, 

 

If you need help verifying your phone number because you're not receiving the code, 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 Bojan,

 

I got the same problem. How can I re-generate the authenticator code? I can't set my profile setting because I can't fill in the authenticator code.

Hi,

 

Need help here, I wanted to change my mobile num since it was deactivated already. I clicked my profile settings and it directly went to a page that I should put the code sent to the deactivated num. No additional option is shown just a confirmation & a log out button.

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

Thank you for your response Avery, greatly appreciated. I am not able to update the contact number through settings>contact info, since verification code is required in updating the information. Please see attached screenshot when I click the settings
