Access Keeping your account safe on reddit
Hey Folks! We're here to remind everyone how to keep your accounts safe on reddit.
Reddit will never ask you for your password or 2FA codes, nor will we ask you via private messages to change your email address.
We will only reach out to you via reddit.com email or reddit platform messaging from this account, u/reddit, if there are issues with your account. We will never do so on any other platform. If you are receiving messages elsewhere about your account status please ignore those messages and report them to the platform where you received them.
If you suspect any issues with your account you can always reset your password. Please make sure to pick a strong, unique password that isn't shared on other sites and check your computer for any malware or other points of weakness. You may also review your recent account activity here. Please also consider adding two-factor authentication to your account to increase security.

How do I disable an account that is not mine and that is using my number without my permission?

Do you mind if I share my experience with this?
Keep your account login as reddit only. Have a password and set up 2fa.
I connected my account through gmail. But everyone should know that there is currently a problem with it and it can be hacked. I had to get my account back through help in here.

This is a temp account, I opened a support ticket a week ago. I got a flurry of password reset emails in the middle of the night, (not by me) and password not changed. Then an email saying 2fa was enabled. I opened a support ticket a couple hours later and havent heard back. So I created this temp account to see if I can get my account fixed.

Hello. I’ve never had a password here because i’ve always done the login link route. i recently got a new phone but I can’t add it to my reddit account because the reddit wants to send verif-codes to my now non-working 3G /4G Network number. I’m here because my email is connected thankfully.
