My Account Doesn't Exist Anymore - Desktop/Android

[u/poglon2761]

On the 23rd of August, I was on Reddit trying to find a guide for a game, when I realized I wasn't signed in. I thought this odd since I never logged out, so I went to sign in with my usual email and password, and it prompted me to create a new account. My account name was yami_melon. I decided to make the new account, looked up my user name, and it was no where to be found. I hadn't posted anything in a while, probably 6 months, so I doubt it was a ban from Reddit. Never got an email about account deletion or a ban. I did, however, upvote and downvote posts in the last 6 months, so it couldn't have been an account deletion due to inactivity? So now I'm thinking maybe it was hacked and deleted. I tried contacting Reddit on the 23rd, no response. I tried again on the 27th, still no response. I wish I had even a clue as to why my account is gone.

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.
