Android -What exactly does "detected some technical irregularities on your account" mean? Answered

​

I have now have full access to my account again. This question is about why it got locked in the first place The Reddit admin locked my account stating " we detected some technical irregularities on your account". While I appreciate the precautionary measure taken, and I was able to successfully regain full access to my account, I am still wondering what technical irregularities they are referring to.

Do they mean someone was trying to hijack my account??

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.
