Why Is My UpWork Account Locked Private?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 9:33 pm

There are a few reasons your UpWork account may be locked private. One reason may be that you’re new to the site and haven’t had a chance to complete your profile yet.

Another reason may be that you’ve been away from the site for a while and your account has become inactive. If this is the case, you’ll need to contact UpWork support to have your account unlocked.

PRO TIP: If you see the message “Why Is My Upwork Account Locked Private?” it means your account has been locked by our security team. This usually happens because we’ve detected suspicious activity on your account.

To unlock your account, please contact our customer support team.

Another possibility is that you’ve violated one of UpWork’s terms of service. This could include anything from using offensive language in your profile or proposals to plagiarism. If your account is locked due to a Terms of Service violation, you’ll need to contact UpWork support to have it unlocked and to discuss the issue.

If your account is locked and you’re not sure why, the best thing to do is contact UpWork support for help. They’ll be able to tell you why your account is locked and help you get it unlocked if possible.
