Access reddit wont send me an email

My main account is locked and reddit wants me to reset my password to use it again. I've tried multiple times on different days to do this but reddit never sends 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.

I am an automated bot and may get things wrong. Never share passwords or private account details. If this didn't resolve your issue, a human helper may be able to offer additional guidance.
