Logged into old Reddit account through Google — confused about the linked email

Hi everyone,

​I'm facing a confusing issue with my Reddit account and would really appreciate some advice.

​Currently, I can access my account perfectly fine using the "Log in with Google" option. However, I don't actually know the Reddit password for this account.

​The strange part is that when I go to my Account Settings, the registered email address shown is a temporary email—not the Google account I just used to log in. I might have added this temp mail a long time ago, but I don't clearly remember doing so.

​How can I safely remove this temp mail, link my actual email address, and set a new password without getting locked out? Also, when I click on "forget password," I don't receive any email.

​Note: I am talking about a different account, obviously not the one I'm posting from right now.

​Thanks in advance for any help!
