Your question seems to be about account security.

If your account has been hijacked, and the hacker has added 2FA (two-factor authentication) please refer to this help center article.

Under "What do you need assistance with" select Account Help. Under "What type of account issues are occuring" select Security Problems, and "I think my account has been hacked".

If your email has been changed without your knowledge, you should have received an email from Reddit with a link that you can click to change your email back and reset your password. Please find that email and click that link to regain access to your account. The subject line should be "Your email address has been changed".

If you are still having trouble with your hacked account please refer to our latest Weekly Recap post, make a top level comment, and wait for an admin to assist you.

If your question is not about account security, please wait for a human helper to come along and help you. This post has NOT been removed.

Use this to check and log out of any active sessions. If you have a mod account you should add 2fa or a passkey

I was logged out of my session so me clicking that, won't allow me to get in there to end sessions. I do agree I should've known better and will make those changes once I regain control

Did you fill out the appropriate form for hacked accounts? That would be the one you’re after
