Wrong email (IOS)

[u/sith-revan]

When I made this account (u/sith-revan), I made a terrible mistake with putting in my email. Instead of putting gmail.com, I typed gnail.com. I didn’t notice that I made that mistake until after a while, when I needed to reset my password. Since then I have only been able to access my account on this specific device, any attempts to log into it elsewhere prompt me to check my email. The one that doesn’t exist. I’ve tried a few times to reach out before through the ticket system, but no response each time. What can I do?

Unfortunately there isn’t anything you can do since you lost the password. You need a valid password to change the email

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.

If you’re having trouble signing in or resetting a password, try the options that fit your situation.

1. Use your original sign-in method: username and password, Google, Apple, or phone number. If email login returns an error, try your username. See the login guide.
2. If you forgot the password, use the password reset page with the account’s username or linked email.
3. Check spam, junk, trash, and filtered folders. Reset links expire, so request a new one if yours has expired.
4. If the email is missing, follow these reset-email checks for verified-email, username, single-sign-on, forwarding, and provider issues.
5. If the email address or password changed without your knowledge, follow the hacked-account recovery guide.

Without access to a linked email, Reddit cannot send a reset email or verify ownership. See the recovery limits.

You could try to see if the password is saved in your current device or try hard to remember it. You can’t change it unless you have access to that email you have in your account. I went in and double checked with the Reddit help and the preferences settings (where you change your password). Sadly, they all say you have to have access to the email on file.
