How to create a Reddit account easily?

As of 2020, Reddit has over 430 million monthly active users. Not all users are registered. If you are visiting Reddit from a Google search, you are visiting Reddit anonymously. As you don’t have an account, Reddit can’t save your search/browsing history or show personalized content.

There are multiple ways to create a Reddit account. You can use your Google/Apple account for passwordless login or your email and password to log in.

It’s also possible to create a throwaway Reddit account. Reddit only requires you to verify your email if you want to recover your password.

Create a Reddit account using their website

Open a web browser and go to reddit.com.
Click on the Login button, then click on Sign Up.
You can Continue with Google/Apple or enter your email address and click Continue.
Reddit will offer a random username; enter your account password if you agree. Or, modify the username and then enter a password.
Confirm that you are not a robot and click on Continue.
Select your Gender, Pick at least 3 topics, Join at least 1 community, customize your avatar, and click on Continue.
Reddit will create a personalized feed based on your pick.

Create a Reddit account using the mobile app

Open the Reddit app on your smartphone.
Tap the Avatar icon at the top right corner and click Sign up/Log in.
If you want to sign up with Apple/Google account, click on it or click Continue with email.
Enter your email and password, then click on Continue.
Choose a unique username and click on Continue.
Select your gender, pick some interests, join a few subreddits, and modify your avatar.
Then tap on Continue to view your Reddit feed.

How to create a throwaway Reddit account

A throwaway Reddit account means a temporary account with no verified information. You don’t need to verify your email, use your real name, or anything at all.

Just create a fake account, use it for a specific purpose, and then forget about it. You can use the account later if you remember the username and password. But if you don’t know the password, you can’t reset it, as you won’t verify the email.

Open a web browser and go to reddit.com.
Click on the avatar at the top right corner and then Login/Sign Up.
A pop+up will appear on your screen; click on Sign up.
Enter a fake email, and you can enter any random email. Then, click on Continue.
Select a username, enter your password, and click on Continue.
Complete the necessary steps and start using Reddit.

The best way to create a Reddit account is using email and a password because you can access your account from any device without connecting your Google/Apple account first.

However, signing up with Apple/Google account has a single edge over the traditional signup method, as Reddit will allow you to change your username within 30 days. You can’t post or comment until you keep or change your random username assigned by Reddit.
