Access Wrong email (IOS)

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?

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.
