Reddit Logging in with Google Accounts Automatically
fedilink

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.
