Cleaning up old reddit accounts as is usual. A lot of them now give me “wrong password” when I try to login over Tor. I know the password isn’t worong and the account can’t be compromised because the password is unique 30 char alphanumeric generated with Keepass.

All the accounts are made over Tor. If you send password reset to your email you can get the account back but if you didn’t give an email it’s stuck there forever.

Another reason to start avoiding Reddit as much as possible, or if you must then make a new account and don’t hold on to it.

EDIT: I now just seen that even if you reset your password, if you log out, reddit will say it’s the wrong password again! This just happened to me, I reset 1 hour ago a password. Logout and clear Tor session, I come back to reply to post comment and reddit says “wrong password”

This is prettty nuts

Hope this is the right sub.

    I know this is an old reply but this was happening, and still happens, with old.reddit.com I also just reset the password and immediately got the error message, but logging in through new reddit was fine.
