I was trying to post about a login issue I’m having on Reddit at this time where it is rejecting my correct password for my account on there even though I’m putting in the correct password. The only way I can get around it is by doing a password reset request, then try to change my password to the current one which it tells me that I can’t change it to my current password, and then close out of that and try to login again which it then works. I don’t even know if there is some sort of flag on my Reddit account that is causing me this issue, even though I already have close to 250 post karma and 90 comment karma.

However, when I post about this in r/help to see if there is any help or suggestions for this, it ends up getting removed immediately by AutoMod there that thinks I was asking about changing my username on Reddit which you can’t, and my post had absolutely nothing to do with needing to change my username which makes this infuriating.

This is what the post was over there and it does not have anything to do with changing my username on Reddit.

*Hi, I have recently been noticing I’m having some login issues here where it is rejecting my correct password even though I’m putting in the correct username and password.

The only way I’m getting it to work is when I request to reset my password, try to change my password to the current password which it tells me that I can’t use my current password, close out of that and try to login in again which then it works.

I’m not sure if there is some sort of flag on my account that is causing me issues, even though I already have close to 250 post karma and 90 comment karma.*

      Okay, I just checked that by putting in my Reddit username and is says I’m not shadowbanned, so the issue I’m having is not due to a shadowban for some unknown reason.
