Title: *"Can you have two Reddit accounts under the same email? How does it work?"*
Hey everyone, quick question—does Reddit actually allow two reddit accounts under same email?
I’ve heard mixed things, like some ppl say it’s fine, others say you gotta use diff emails.
If it *is* possible, how does it even work? Like, do you just sign up again with the same email? And are there any weird glitches or risks with having two reddit accounts under same email?
Also, does Reddit care or flag this kinda thing? Just wanna avoid any accidental bans lol.
Thanks in advance for any insights!
Yeah, you can totally have two reddit accounts under same email! I’ve done it for years with no issues.
Just sign up like normal but use the same email—Reddit doesn’t block it.
Only thing is, password recovery gets messy if you forget which account is which. Maybe use a password manager like Bitwarden to keep track.
Reddit doesn’t care as long as you’re not evading bans or spamming.
Nope, Reddit doesn’t allow two reddit accounts under same email anymore. They changed it a while back.
I tried recently and got an error saying "email already in use." Had to use a temp email service like Temp-Mail for the second one.
If you’re gonna do it, better use separate emails to avoid headaches.
Wait, really? I just made two reddit accounts under same email last week.
Worked fine for me—no errors or anything. Maybe it’s a glitch or depends on the app vs browser?
But yeah, no bans or flags so far. Just don’t be shady with it lol.
Pro tip: Use a Gmail trick for two reddit accounts under same email.
Add a "+" and any word after your email (like youremail+reddit2@gmail.com). Reddit sees it as a new email, but all messages go to your main inbox.
Super handy if you wanna keep things separate but don’t wanna manage multiple emails.
Reddit’s official stance is kinda vague, but technically, you *can* have two reddit accounts under same email.
The real question is *should* you? If you’re using them for legit reasons (like one for personal, one for hobbies), it’s fine.
But if you’re trying to bypass bans or vote manipulate, that’s when they’ll crack down.
I’ve had two reddit accounts under same email for ages—no problems.
The only annoying part is switching between them. The official app makes it easy, but on desktop, you gotta log out and back in.
Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES) helps if you’re on browser.
Honestly, why risk it? Just use a free email service like ProtonMail or Tutanota for the second account.
Reddit might not care *now*, but policies change. Better safe than sorry if you’re worried about bans.
It’s possible, but kinda janky. I made two reddit accounts under same email, but sometimes notifications get mixed up.
Also, if you lose access to the email, both accounts are screwed.
Maybe just use a simple alias or a separate email to keep things clean.
OP here—thanks for all the replies! Super helpful.
I tried the Gmail "+" trick and it worked like a charm for two reddit accounts under same email.
One last Q: Does Reddit’s auto-mod or anything flag the "+" thing as suspicious? Don’t wanna wake up to a shadowban lol.
