# How to Recover a Hacked Reddit Account When Email and Password Are Changed?

If you suspect your Reddit account has been compromised and the attacker changed both your password and email address, standard password reset links will not work.

## Immediate Security Steps

Follow these steps to report the breach and secure your account:

- **Check your original email inbox:** Search for an email from Reddit notifying you about an email address change. Click the "revert this change" link immediately if available.
- **Submit a Reddit Support Request:** Fill out the official Reddit account help form under *"Account Problems" > "I think my account has been hacked"*.
- **Secure connected accounts:** Change passwords on Google or Apple accounts if you used single sign-on (SSO) to log into Reddit.

### Information Required by Reddit Support

Provide your original username, the original email address attached to the account, and approximate date of account creation to verify ownership.
