I noticed when attempting to login in to my Twitch account with the wrong password an error message stating "That password was incorrect. Please try again" appears. Also, in the case where there is no existing username the page displays, "This username does not exist." This is bad! Never do this! When the username or password is incorrect the page should display "Username or Password was incorrect. Please try again" or something to the same extent. The reason why the to warning should never be separate is a security issue. If an attacker were to try to get into someone's account, the error messages already gives the attacker more information then they should have. Please fix this as soon as possible, thank you!

cara troquei meu nick, pra colocar as letras maiusculas no link,(vi que os streamers tinham letras maiúsculas e minusculas no link, eu queria o mesmo) e não consegui trocar de volta, esperei 3 meses como diz, e nada, esperei 6 meses pra trocar o nome devolta e ainda sim não foi, eu não consigo mais usar meu nome antigo, não sei o que fazer. nem entro mais na twitch, não vale a pena, sempre aquela verificação por sms, se vc perder o celular vc simplesmente nunca mais entra, pelomenos o nick vocês tem que arrumar! nada da twitch é fácil pra encontrar e configurar, e sempre dá problema.

It's 2021 New Era.
Time for Twitch to get out of its thick skin.
All Technical Twitch issues, some 99% of which arise from BOTS accounts.
This is a FAQ last days BOT attacks. and suspect Ddoss.

Twitch management Its Thick headlines Don't leave any suggestion through their thick skin. and deny well-meant security to streamers and viewers. to build in.

now talking takless
Foreword bots.
- Spam bots.
- FOllow bots.
- Hostbots.
- Scam bots.
Started last weeks before Christmas. attacks from bots.
and server problems worldwide on Twitch. and DDos attacks.
(ddoss I suspect also comes with bots)
We streamers are **** off

Two years ago by Email I submitted a proposal to Twitch HQ usa.
Until now Jan 2021, twitch has done nothing with this. and the problems only increase.
We strarmers suggested some very good protections.
For new Accounts and existing accounts.

1- Max three accounts per user language.
2- Name, address, zip code, ect and telephone number required.
3- Passport or driver's license must be over 18 years old.
3A- As soon as this is checked in waiting room open account access. As soon as the authenticity of an account is proof.

Through Control passport, Driver's license or other legal. That a person is real. and not a bone. ect. Why? Below the following example

After checking for Viewers as streamers ids.
Can twitch do more when abused

• Ban on IP address
• Ban on Name address ect
• Ban on thier Computer and mobile phone (SMartphone) software operating system DNA tel DNA code
• Ban in Thier PC(Computer DNA) Exemple GPU serial nr chip ect CPU chip, Main board dna ect ect.
• every PC or smartphone have Unique DNA serial numbers and bios and so on.
• VPN ban

Why?
Why work like this?
Ban on only E mail or and Ip is insufficient.
You create new free Email or VPN ip ect.

It only helps to banish like more game makers already do.
on everything ips and well known vpn ips, besides pc bios chip, cpu / gpu chip ect.

Now it becomes a very expensive joke for scamers, bots, Trolls ;-)
they can buy new tel or pc laptop, ipad ect. haha.
If they think they are screwing up other streamers and their viewers, this becomes very expensive.

Ban on everything you can from IP to control system and CHIPS DNA IDs, including thier name, address, IDs.

just look after account numbers, How many accounts there are. what's the use of FAKE accounts. by viewers to increase a streamer Followers numbers ??? A streamer wants real people in chat and as a follower FAQ I mean the serious streamers they want to see through an honest followers FAQ.

Twitch can ban perma ban on IP / EMail.
This has little effect, they create vein Email address and vpn ip.
and spam, bones scam again.

Twitch needs to get out of its thick skin and bless Enough is Enough. We let our streamers and viewers break their day. But we at Twitch also mess up our servers bandwidth due to trolls bots, scam bots, follow bots, hostbots ect. fake accounts.
Ultimate Protection 2021 and beyond Is more important than ever.
Twitch can secure a lot more than they do. Kixeye game bans on everything above mentioned. DNA gpu / cpu ect. Why not Twitch?

Twitch underestimates the problem.
Twitch Underestimated Serious streamers have the power.
No streamers No Twitch. We streamers spend so much money on Twitch from subs bits ect. 50% That they build in good security control system and ban system.

What can you do as a streamer?
- all on the same side against Twitch
- vote on our proposed new ban system
- New account registration.
- Old existing accounts confirmations
- Not active accounts can be removed for up to 24 months or invisible.
- Ban channels can no longer look after a streamer.
For example if facebook / Instagram / Twitter already do.
They no longer see a streamer's contact, as if the account no longer exists.
Streamers continue to progress hand in hand for better collaboration and protections.

Streamers and viewers partnered with Twitch to create fair and fun-filled streams. But knowing Twitch, they don't do anything about it like they have for years. Yes BAN they don't see your chat anymore. thats all

2021 new paradime new rules
2021 new ban system
2021 new signups accounts and old accounts coontroll on Legit

2021 new paradime for every serious viewer streamers.

Happy new year and hope on beter times on Twitch

Reduce the amount of cooldown after a name change, I have had to wait for 6+ months to get my name changed after I accidentally changed my name. I didn't get a reply from support after 6 months either, so I had to wait it out.
Even when you change your name you might not even be able to get the name back, which is ridiculous in my opinion. Having to wait 6+ months to get your name back and yet not be able to get it is something that needs to be changed when I accidentally changed my name the Twitch.tv website crashed at the time and that's why I had to refresh the site and then it was logged into the wrong account, so it changed my name on my main account and not my alt. Therefor stuff like this should be reduced so it won't happen to anyone again.

Before suspending users with inappropriate names, could you instead give them a 5 day warning to change? The suspension without warning seems very unnecessary if a person has had it for the longest time and suddenly got suspended. I believe lots of people could stop clogging suspension appeals with this, especially those who aren't genuine trouble makers with their names and people deserve second chances! Especially with usernames, my friend got suspended and there was no clear heads up on their suspension. They were watching a stream and bop! Banned without warning and for having an average name that never harmed anybody and definitely made a bunch of people laugh and bring a smile to their face.

This also just sounds like I want my friend unsuspended, but I believe giving a person a 1-7 day warning to change their name will unclog lots of suspension appeals.

Create a better way for old people using the app or have a human suport to help new users on how to create a new account. I have did a tutorial it my self that can be accessed here http://djrudphd.com.br/entrartwitch/ but I gess that is not enough . I guess a that a phone number should be get automaticaly when on a form starts to be filled and after it be sent, Twitch could sent login infos in an SMS with login infos or a button or a link to do the first login where user can fill other options like user name and passaword like WhatsAPP used to do

Pretty much as described. I had someone enquire about this because they had one account with their current on stream name and while looking to find their rebranded name they registered it on a their stream testing account.

Since both account are registered to the same email address it would be nice to "switch" the usernames when the rebrand goes live. As it stands now they are stuck waiting while the name goes back into the name pool and hoping the name is freed up for the "main" account.

(and no one takes it during this time...)

Rebranding can take time and it usually isnt something a broadcaster wants to do in pieces (known as new name on twitch, old name on social media platform x etc) being able to reserve or switch usernames in this manner will allow broadcasters to properly plan and release a rebranding.
