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?

So ive had to create this account as a temp account as i cant get into my other account.
Basically i dont have access to the phone listed on my upwrok profile and i cant get into my accoutn or speak to support. Im a top rate plus memeber.
Ive created this temp account so i can post this and try and get some help.
Ridiclous that ive had to go to this length just to get into my existing account so a bad UX.

I would like to ask for support. I've lost my phone associated with my upwork account and my two way verification is on. Please help me turn it off and gain control of my account and change my phone number on my information details.

one of my friends is unable to log in on Upwork. His contact number is stopped working that used in two-step verification and now he is unable to log in on Upwork without confirming the OTP. Please let me know how can he log in Upwork by skipping the two-step verification. Also, without login, he is not enabled to contact support.

I want to do some settings for my running account for almost 2 years. but for the last 2 months whenever I tried to do settings it ask me to put a code received via text message. but I haven't received any code yet. in these 2 months, I tried almost 7 times but no code received in my contact number I put there.

Hello! It seems like the Upwork Help Support doesn't work. I need to connect with them because I have to change something from the setting option and I couldn't get through with it because my phone number associated with my account is already invalid. Any suggestion?

I am extemely triggered to say the least.
I tried to login to my upwork account and I get absolutely no other option then to enter my phone number SMS verification code. I haven't had that old number in 3 months! So I thought I would contact upwork support, but it asks you to login and verify your phone number before you can submit a support ticket!
So I was forced to create a SECOND account just to post a community support ticket that I can't login to my FIRST account.
And I missing something here? How do you update an outdated phone number and how do you create a support ticket if you can't login to your account in the first place!
Thank you

Hi James,

Thank you.
