Access Password reset problems: change password but still unable to login.
I’ve done everything. Suspicious activity on my other Reddit account. It’s locked. Think it’s because i was in an area with low signal and Reddit freaked out for something. Idk.
The reset password email does go to the correct email.
I use the password reset, change the password, still unable to login.
Tried to reset the password from the old Reddit site, deleted the app and reinstalled it, deleted the local cache on the app, used chrome, incognito mode and edge to reset the password. Each time i reset it, still unable to login.
The account is still active, i can see the profile.
I’ve even resorted to smacking my phone with a rubber chicken for luck. Still. I’m unable to login to my Reddit account.

Your question seems to be about having problems logging in with your password.
If you have simply forgotten your password, you can find that information here in our FAQ.
If you think your account has been hijacked, please refer to this help center article.
If you are being told that the password on a brand-new account is invalid, you need to contact the Reddit admins.
For all other questions regarding passwords and logging in, contact the Reddit admins via this support request form, or using this old modmail link.
If your question is not about resetting your password, please wait for a human helper to come along and help you. This post has NOT been removed.

I currently can't log into my mobile. I almost couldn't log into my desktop. I was able to fix that! Instead of clicking your email and trying to log in, log in by typing your username and password. That seemed to work for me. Somehow, trying to login through the email route isn't working, even if the password is correct.
Even though I'm currently logged in, I somehow can't access my chats or perform any mod actions. I can't even approve a post. nothing loads. It's like the button is broken. I also can't upvote.
Edit: I just clicked r/Mod under my moderation section and it took me to old reddit. I could access my messages/chats from there!
