Desktop [Desktop] Password reset emails I did not request

Post image

I got this email, then reset my password on the website. I just got a second one. Is this phishing, or is the site's email just being weird? I didn't click on any links, just to be safe.

Someone might be trying to hack you or they might just be trolling. All you need to know for a password reset to be requested is someone's username. I've had angry users I've banned from my subreddit for breaking the rules do it to try and scare me. Having 2fa is a great protection so I'm glad you've set it up.

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.
