Hey folks - this morning we rolled out a change to certain login and authentication touch points that you may have been using to access Reddit. Specifically changes to old.reddit/login, the inline login form in the top right of old reddit, as well as a few other standalone authentication touch points.

For some context behind these changes - our newer authentication surfaces (such as www.reddit.com/login) are more secure and utilize reCAPTCHA which helps us better identify malicious activity, so we’re swapping to these updated and secure pages instead of maintaining a separate login flow for old.reddit. We’ll also be redirecting users back to old.reddit after authenticating, so you do not need to use any redirect extensions or swap the URL back to “old” unless you wish to.

To quell any concerns - we’re not removing old.reddit and have no plans to do so.

Please note - our updated login pages use Google reCAPTCHA in the background and some browser extensions may interfere with logins. If you have trouble logging in, your first step should be disabling your browser extensions (you can then enable them once logged in).

Thanks!
