Hi AJ,

 

If you need help signing in to your account, 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. Please visit Contact Support and click the ‘Chat with Upwork' button.
  2. Type a question or topic and select ‘Send’. The bot will find relevant Help articles for you.
  3. The chatbot will ask you to confirm if you need additional help. If you confirm that you need additional help, you will be asked to confirm the account type you need help with.
  4. From there, the support options available to you will be listed. Select either of the options to be able to contact the Upwork Support Team.

Thank you,

Pradeep

I need to change my first name. Upwork asks me for my password, but I do not have one. I signed up with google. So upwork does not offer the verification with google. What to do ?

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.

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?
