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.

    The fact that Reddit is looking at every google account your computer is logged into, and then forcibly logging in any that are associated

    That’s not even possible. As somebody else pointed out, you’re logging in unintentionally on your end, probably with the Google password manager.

      The only time that account has ever been used on that computer had been to log into YouTube, once.
