I keep having my Reddit account invalidated with wrong password error message. I create a new account with randomly picked user name and random password and get logged in OK. If I log out I can’t use that same name and pw to login again, pw error. What’s going on with them. It has to be one of the worst sites in the Internet. I want an account so I can follow four subs and have the ability to create permalinks for comments I want to share elsewhere, i.e. the Ukraine sub here, Mastodon and in email with friends. Is it a pointless venture to try and get a stable account?

    I don’t think anyone should use reddit anymore, but you could try another browser. If you are not using google chrome on windows, reddit might be broken for you. It’s called poor web design and reddit is the definition of it. Try google chrome in private mode without any extensions enabled. If the login still doesn’t work, you have another problem.

      Yes. Poor Web Design, if any design at all. They can’t handle normal logins. I will just do without it. More time to spend on other things.

      Thanks. I wouldn’t get near Google Chrome. I use Waterfox and sometimes Pale Moon and even more rarely Firefox.
