not receiving security code on my phone

Hi

 

not receiving security code on my phone ??

I have been trying for ages. it now says I have exceeded max number of attempts to activate notifications by trying to add my phone number

 

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

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

I'm receiving a similar error, I'm trying to change some details for my account and I receive the message "Use your authenticator app to generate a code. Enter it in the code box and press Confirm" but I do not receive any code on my phone or on the app.

Authenticator app is the default choice for the second step verification process but I have no idea what it is and I can't replace it with sms option.

Hi Sandro,

 

I can see you were able to submit a support ticket with our team regarding this. Please allow some time for our team to review and they will update you directly via ticket as soon as possible.

 

Thanks!

I do not get a five digit code when I enter my phone number.  Tried to have code resent a few times, but nothing ever came to my phone.

Hello,

 

I formatted my phone and my Google authenticator is not providing me the 6 digits. Please help me disable this feature or kindly enable it so I can receive the 6 digits to my email. I appreciate your help.

Hi, I'm not receiving the verification sms that is needed to complete my profile. I've clicked on "resend" like 5 times of the course of 1 hour and still nothing.

Can you please help finish the registration process?

I already lost the phone number that I have on file a few months ago. When I edit the phone number, it's still sending code to the lost number. What do I do?

Hi, There's an issue with the system. I'm not getting any security code on my registered mobile number or email for long. I'm trying it for so many days. Please find me an immediate solution for it as I'm stuck with it. I'm even not able to update my profile due to such a situation.

Can you connect me with a team member? Text code authentication code has not been received. I have tried numerous times. The other methods ask for a 6 digit code but the code they send is alphanumeric and more than 6 digits. 
Thanks, Jeff

I need help ASAP. I cant withdraw my funds because it needs to confirm by my registered phone number but unfortunately my phone number is not working anymore. My email account attached to Upwork is also not receiving any code.
