Hi! Im trying to login to my original one which is **Edited for Community Guidelines**
I only created this new account yesterday under **Edited for Community Guidelines** since there is no way to ask for assistance without logging in.
Pls advise. Thank you

I just changed my email and I ise google to log  in and can login successfully but when trying to access my settings it will not let me in with my password. After clearing my cache it still will not let me use the forgot password to change my password because it says my password is wrong. I get the email to reset it but when I try to reset it I get the message Upwork cannot locate the information needed to recover your password, Please try again

I forgot my password of my original  Upwork account and I can't  access the email address associated with the account, because my macbook where I had saved my private data have been lost.

I only know my username and the associated email address name itself though if that would help.

Please help, I need to get my account back and start working.

You need to to recover your email adress anyhow after recover that you can also able to recover your upwork account , Upwork security policy is too much strong so you can't doing anything without recover email.

Hi Arjay,

There was no further response, what should I do next? Is there an estimate time of waiting? I'm already waiting 5 days for the response.

Best regards,

Hi Pradeep,

As I don't have access to the email address associated with my main Upwork account shared before, I hoped that someone will contact me on the new account here.

Thanks a lot.
