Reddit Will Require Login to Access Legacy Interface

Reddit announced that the classic version of the site will soon require users to log in. The change applies to the "old Reddit" design that many longtime users prefer. The company says the move aims to unify the user experience across platforms. Anonymous browsing of the legacy interface will no longer be possible. Existing bookmarks to the old site will redirect to a login prompt. Reddit cites security and personalization benefits as reasons. The shift may affect users who rely on script‑free access. Observers will watch how the community reacts to the enforced authentication.
