ACCEPTED SOLUTION

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 changed country and I can't update some of my profile data, because I no longer have the old mobile phone number (it has been changed). How can I update the number on my profile?

 

Thanks.

Hi, I hate to ask this question because last time I asked something I am still getting a ridiculous amount ot emails about that question that are no help at all.

 

But, I cannot login to my profile setting because the confirm SEND is grayed out. I have the mobile Upwork app and it is launch.

Hi Steven,

 

Could you please try using a different browser or logging in from your computer to see if the issue persists? If so, please send a screenshot so we could check. 

 

By the way, it sounds like you're subscribed to the thread where you posted your questions and are being notified via email every time there is a new post. If you click on your profile picture at the top right-hand corner and select My Subscriptions, you should be able to unsubscribe and stop receiving those emails.

Hi, I have the same issue. I uninstalled my authenticator app on my phone and can't scan the QR code or get the 6 digits code.

Hi Martin, 

I'm sorry if this has caused any inconvenience on your end. I can see that you have already accessed your account. Do you still need help? 


~ Avery

Hi Avery, yes I still need assistance in disabling the authenticator since I always get the "Authorize your device" page and don't have access to the authenticator app. I appreciate it if someone from the technical team can contact me through my email.

There is the message from my friend **Edited for Community Guidelines**. She can't access her account. I'll pass on your answer to her. Thank you.

Dear Aleksandar,
I have similar problem. Default verification step for my account was authenticator app, and I have changed my cell phone so now the app is not synced with my Upwork account and I cannot enter to my account on my desktop computer. I have just one option to enter code. How this can be solved since I cannot enter to account and find help in community center?
Thank you in advance,
**Edited for Community Guidelines**
