If you suspect that your account has been compromised, go here to report the problem to our support team.

You can manage your login options within your settings, under the Password and Security page.

As a best practice for keeping you and your information safe, we recommend that you change your password every 90 days. We also recommend setting up a security question and updating it every 90 days.

To ensure you have a strong password, you should include uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Your security answer should be something memorable for you, but not easy for someone to guess or find online.
Don’t share your password or security answer with anyone, and never allow others to log into your Upwork account.

To set up and manage SSO options

Single Sign-On (SSO) options allow you to use Google or Apple credentials to log in. You can add or remove them at any time. To manage your SSO options within your account:

  1. Go to Settings > Password and Security
  2. In the Login section, choose an option next to Log in with Google or Log in with Apple. You’ll only see options that apply to your account
  3. Follow the prompts provided from the SSO provider

PRO TIPS:

Be careful about giving out information, especially on social media, that could help others guess your security question answers.
