The first time it happened, I wasn’t sure if it was an accident but it has happened again multiple times since.
I have a google account that I use for YouTube because it has premium and that is useful in my work. It also as a long dead Reddit account associated with it.
Multiple times, on my work computer, when I end up on Reddit from google a question, the top right will find my google account, and AUTOMATICALLY LOG INTO REDDIT. I have logged out multiple times.
These is extremely concerning - the fact that I am logged in with google does not consent me to log into Reddit. I do not want that Reddit account associated with my work.
Does that equate to actually deleting the Reddit account in question though? I assume only the connection is severed, but Reddit still retains the userdata from now a disconnected ghost account.
I’m 98% sure you can still log in again, it just invalidates the access token that Reddit has received from Google. The effect is that when you log in next time you end up at Google’s authorization screen where you have to explicitly give Reddit access again.
