Google Sign-in not working

[5a22752e]

I am not able to log in into my other account cause when I go and try I receive this error message when I have already used my account and posted jobs "You have not activated the Google sign in method for this account. Please choose another sign in method for this email address."

I use the login with Google as my mode of authorization for Upwork.

The problem though is that to edit my profile or any other security settings, I have to enter a password.

My account has no password and I fail to understand why a password is required from me to change settings/details of my account.

I tried to use the reset password feature if it would be of help(in setting up a new password) and yet it still requires that I enter my old password (which I don't have😟)

When I use the forgot password link while on the login page, the email I receive says my account uses google sign in therefore I am not able to set a new password.

I really hope something can be done to relieve my account from this password Limbo.

I have had an account registered with email **Edited for Community Guidelines** for a long time and have purchased the plus package. Now when I log into the website it says "You have not activated the Google sign in method for this account. Please choose another sign in method for this email address". I also tried resetting my password but it didn't send me an email! Please support me. I have no way to contact you. So I created an account with this email to log in and create a topic asking for support

Hello Catlikesbest@nguyen Duc T,

I understand that you’re facing issues logging into your Upwork account due to the Google sign-in method not being activated.
It appears that your account is set up to use Google sign-in, but it hasn’t been activated for your email address. To resolve this, follow these steps.
Log in to your Upwork account using the email address associated with your account (**Edited for Community Guidelines**).
Go to your Settings.
Click on the Security tab.  
Under the “Log in with” section, look for the option related to Google Login.
Click the Enable button next to Google Login.  
A pop-up window will appear asking you to log in with your Google account. Enter your Google account credentials and click the Allow button.    
If you’ve also tried resetting your password and didn’t receive an email, here are some additional steps:
Check your spam or junk folder in your email account. Sometimes password reset emails end up there.
Make sure you’re using the correct email address associated with your Upwork account (thond@ndtvietnam.com).
If you still don’t receive the password reset email, consider reaching out to Upwork support directly.
Since you’re unable to log in, I recommend contacting Upwork support for personalized assistance. Here’s how you can do it:
Visit the Upwork Community Support Forum.
Create a new topic explaining your issue (similar to what you’ve shared here).
Upwork moderators and community members can provide guidance or escalate your issue to the appropriate team.

Best Regards,

Catlikesbest

Hi. Every time I sign in to my Google account I am always redirected to upwork.okta.com. I am no longer connected with Upwork. I just want to sign in to my personal Google account. How can I remove the upwork.okta.com page? Thank you.

To save all your troubles, Just create an upwork  account

I cannot access my upwork account using google login. When I follow the login flow I get stuck on the page that says "Welcome" with the button below that says continue with google. 

I am using an account I just created to open this support request

[6eb496a4]

You can try logging in with the app or website

I use a Google account to log in to Upwork. Now, I'm trying to get paid. Previously, I entered the password to confirm, but now it does not accept it. Then, I tried changing my password with forget password. I got an email, redirected to change the password. I answered the security question. I entered the new password then I got the error message  " Password Recovery Error." I have attached the error with this. It says "Upwork could not locate the information needed to recover your password. Please try again ". Can you please suggest to me, how I can confirm my payment using a Google account and change the password as it was working before?

I can't login to my account. If I try to login with google, it says "You have not activated the Google sign in method for this account. Please choose another sign in method for this email address.". So if I try to login with password, it says "This email address is using Google sign in".
How can I fix it?

[02a4b129]

I have created this account only so I can post this here.
I am completely locked out of my upwork account.

When trying to login via email/password, the page says this account uses Google login. When trying to login via Google login, the page says that this has not been activated in my account and I have to try email/password.

There is no way out of this roundabout.

I managed to reset my password via a link offered on upwork. No effect.
I have unlinked my google account from upwork via the Google Accounts page. No effect.

I have had at least 5 chat sessions with an absolutely unhelpful support bot on the upwork page. Absolutely, utterly unhelpful. Will not under any circumstances forward me to a human operator that could actually help.

Can please somebody from upwork support help me with this? I have ongoing jobs in my other account and need to access it asap!

[NikolaS]

Hi Markus, 

I am sorry for the inconvenience you experienced with a chatbot. Could you please click on my name and send me a PM with more information about the original account you are referring to? I will be sure to look into your report and escalate it accordingly.

[02a4b129]

Hey Nicolas. Thank you for your reply.

Clicking on your name does get me to your profile page. But I dont see an option to DM you in there

[LuiggiR]

Hi Markus,

Could you please try again now? You should be able to send Nikola a message as shown here. 

[02a4b129]

Thank you for this. The message button does now show up. So does the messaging tool. But submitting my message leads me to my "private messages center" that remains empty. I dont think my messages are being submitted. I have tried this several times now across different browsers

[PradeepH]

Hi Markus,

I checked and can confirm that your private message is already sent. Please allow 24-48 hours for the Moderator to review and respond to you.

Thank you PradeepH

I still havent been contacted of me being locked out of my account. It has now been over a week that I am unable to contact the people under my contract. I think this situation is completely unacceptable. How can it be that upwork is giving me zero support about an issuie that is clearly a technical issue that needs to be urgently resolved.

our login system sends me on a roundabout chase between email and google login. saying both dont work on my account.

I cannot stress enough that I need to get back into my account as I have ongoing jobs that I have comissioned with YOUR talents.

Please do get back to me asap and help me so I can log in to my account again!
I repeat that I have created this account only to be able to have some sort of line of communication as I cannot login to my account any longer because of upwork technical issues.

This line of communication is the most frustrating thing I have ever experienced. Every possibility for me as a client to you as a service provider has been eliminated. Only bots and help files are available that clearly dont help a thing in a situation like this.

Please do get in contact with me so this situation can be resolved

[LuiggiR]

Markus, I'm sorry for any frustration this might have caused you. We’ve escalated your community post to a support ticket. One of our agents will contact you soon to assist.

Hi there,

I am pretty new to this platform and I just created an account using my Google credentials.

So basically I have a login without a password because I log in through the Google portal.

This causes some problems when I try to fill in my tax info.

Every time I want to fill in my tax info it asks me to login with a password. (Which I don't have)

I tried clicking the "forgot password" button and followed all the steps, but had no luck changing the password.

Can someone help me please?

[JoanneP]

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out! If you prefer to log into your account using a password and username, you may need to disable your Google sign-in. If you prefer this method, please let us know, and we'll process it for you. 

[4a5253f6]

Hello, I am a relatively new freelancer attempting to find some gigs on Upwork. I recently logged back in after being gone for a few months and was updating my profile. I got to the address portion for tax documents and ran into a problem: For me to continue, it is asking me to type in my password but here's the thing, I sign in with my Google account, and doesn't give me that option to continue. 

Since I am unable to contact Upwork via email or phone number, I need to find a way to fix this issue.

I had to make an alternative Upwork account because I havent been able to log into my original account. I kept getting this message "You have not activated the Google sign in method for this account. Please choose another sign in method for this email address". I already tried to disconnect it and log in manually, but it wont let me unless its tied to Google login...I gave up and made another account to start work, but since my personal number is attached to my old one, I cant use it either. Need help to log into my orginal account so I can close it and use my new one. I would greatly appreciate it, if i can talk to someone about this problem. The bot chat and the help center page are not helping. Thank you!
