How to Resolve Common Upwork Account Creation Errors

It’s natural to occasionally encounter errors when creating an Upwork account. Here are a few common issues and how you can tackle them:

1. Email Already in Use

• Reset your password: It’s possible you signed up in the past and forgot. Use the ‘Forgot Password’ option to get back into your account.
• Support: If reset doesn’t work, contact Upwork support for assistance.

2. Can’t verify phone number

• Check number format: Ensure your phone number is in the correct format. Include the country code first, followed by your number.
• Resend the code: If you didn’t receive the verification code, opt to resend it.
• Support: If all else fails, get in touch with Upwork support.

3. Cannot upload profile picture

• Check file format: Your profile picture should be a JPG, GIF, or PNG file. No PDFs.
• Check file size: The file shouldn’t be larger than 10MB.
• Try a different browser: Sometimes browser compatibility issues can interfere with uploading pictures.
• Contact support: If all else fails, get in touch with Upwork’s support.

If you encounter any other kind of error, reach out to [Upwork’s support](https://support.upwork.com/) directly. Make sure to detail your issue, any steps you’ve already taken to resolve it, and provide relevant screenshots if possible.
