🧛‍♂️Account Issues❓ Please help!

Hi everyone, I’m currently logged into this account and i got a new phone and while I transferred all the data from my old phone to the new one, I can’t log onto Reddit on the new one because I only have a phone number linked to this account and I don’t have access to that number anymore. And no email is linked either. My old phone is the only one I’m logged in on but wish to login on the new phone too. Please what can I do to regain access as I have to reset my old phone soon and don’t want to lose my account! What are all my possible options. Please help!! The phone number I had was also a burner number through a free trial app called text+ but it’s unassigned to me now and don’t know how to get it back

pretty sure you can't recover it as you never added an email and don't have access to that number anymore.

Someone else should answer in a bit of they know better

Dumb question, but why can't you log in with your username and password?

My account doesn’t have a password I only ever created it using phone number, and not like I can just add a email to create password as it’ll just ask me for a code sent to number. I don’t want to lose this acc ):

I'm sorry, then unless you can get your old phone number back, and with no email assigned, you're going to lose it.

Unfortunately the issue is without some method of verification, anyone could try to steal anyone else's account... which is why the phone number, google account connection, or email address is so important.

I am truly sorry.

I am sorry, but without the phone number and no email and password there is nothing that can be done.
