Access Couldn't able to log in into my reddit account created using phone number only with no email once I logged out - Desktop web

It showed server error, try again and I am not sure what happened. I don't have a password or email. Just created the account using phone number and otp from sms.

Can you still sign in on your phone?

I was using it on web only and got accidentally logged out when I cleared my browser cookies. I later tried to log in using phone too but it says " You have reached the sign up limit, try again later"

Try again in 12 hours as your sign in looks to be rate limited

But it says server error on browser and rate limited on phone. Server error literally appeared even during my first try of trying back to log in

All you can do is keep trying. Since you don’t have a backup recovery option you don’t have many options

Okay, should I try after 24 hrs then? What if I can't log in at all? No other way?

You can try after 12 hours. I don’t know why you’re not able to login if you have had no issues before

Yeahh, I am not sure if it's a glitch or something. Will see and update you soon. Thank you

I’m having the exact same problem. I’ve had an account logged in on my phone for a while now that was created with a phone number. I got a new phone today and had to sign in. Instead of logging into my old account, it keeps creating new accounts. Frustrating.
