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!

I recently formatted my android phone and forgot to back up my Microsoft authenticator app which allows me to have a double layer of authentication for Upwork. Now, I am unable to modify anything in my Upwork account because I receive a prompt to enter the code sent to my authenticator app to confirm.

How to solve this problem as I installed the Microsoft authenticator app again but cannot attach my Upwork account with this app. Please help. Thank you.

Hello,

 

I'm trying to set up my Upwork account as a freelancer, and am on the last step to enter in a code that's supposed to be sent as a text to my cell. I haven't received the code yet, no matter how many times I ask to resend the code. Please advise, thank you.

Hello, I bought a new phone yesterday and reset my old one without transfering my 2FA codes to the new phone. I'm only able to log in on my computer. Is it possible to have 2FA verification reset on this account?
