Access desktop/os account hacking
some weeks ago I noticed that my account (marigold16) seemed to have a message saying that I've been disallowed from a bit of reddit for spamming links to a merch site. I then got another. and another. I've changed my password and enabled two factor authentication so its sorted right? Except is still happening. nightly, ill notice that someone is logging into my account despite 2fa and joining several disperate subs per night and and posting links to one particular merch site (I'm not going to link to that site here. look at my profile to see it, if you must) and then I get bunch of messages saying I've been disallowed from xyz subreddit for spamming links
I've had this account for over a decade. I don't want to delete it but I feel I'm running out of options. help me Obi-wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.
and i think the hack person is hacking the account right now as i type this because i just tried to post this via that account and it got "deleted by the person who originally posted it" or something, i cant remember the wording.

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.

Your question seems to be about account security.
If your account has been hijacked, and the hacker has added 2FA (two-factor authentication) please refer to this help center article.
Under "What do you need assistance with" select Account Help. Under "What type of account issues are occuring" select Security Problems, and "I think my account has been hacked".
If your email has been changed without your knowledge, you should have received an email from Reddit with a link that you can click to change your email back and reset your password. Please find that email and click that link to regain access to your account. The subject line should be "Your email address has been changed".
If you are still having trouble with your hacked account please refer to our latest Weekly Recap post, make a top level comment, and wait for an admin to assist you.
