The iOS app has this annoying habit of logging me out of the app seemingly at random, and with no input at all on any other device. This is very disruptive as I have 2FA set up on my account, and to log in I have to both provide my password and an auth code that may/may not be easy to get to depending on whether I have my auth code generator to hand.

The iOS app never used to randomly log out, so the question is why is it doing it now. I'm aware of the "30 days" feature but it'll often log out well before the 30 days are up.

EN: I want every change to contract to be sent to the email address associated with the Affiliate / Partner account. For example, when an e-mail or other data has been changed in the contract, information should be sent to the e-mail assigned to the account. Streamers are losing money through data leaks, as I am because someone has changed my email to make a payment and Twitch is not willing to do anything about it or give me my money back.

PL: Chcę, aby każda zmiana w umowie była wysyłana na adres e-mail przypisany do konta Towarzysza/Partnera. Na przykład gdy e-mail lub inne dane zostały zmienione w umowie to powinna zostać wysłana informacja na e-mail przypisany do konta. Streamerzy tracą pieniądze przez wycieki danych, tak jak ja, ponieważ ktoś zmienił mój e-mail w celu dokonania płatności, a Twitch nie chce nic z tym zrobić ani oddać mi pieniędzy.

Now that Twitch has enabled streamers to require phone number verification to use their chat, I and many others have had to add a verified mobile number to my account. The problem, however, is I can now reset my password via SMS, which I did not ask for. This is especially problematic because Twitch's 2FA solution can also be bypassed via a phone number that's required to set up 2FA at all, even if the user has a secure authenticator app, meaning an attacker with access to the user's phone number can defeat both factors. Twitch just suffered a data leak, and presumably the names and numbers of high profile streamers are now public record, which makes a SIM swap attack highly effective. This is a major security problem and there needs to be a way to opt out.

Right now i can't chat on any twitch cause its asking for me to enter a mobile number. and despite my repeated attempts at getting SOMEONE to disable this stupid targeting on my accounts, nobody is listening. And no I'm not giving my mobile number. u have my verified email and i shouldn't be scrutinized to enter a mobile number. If you need mobile numbers on my account then i'm not using twitch period. and unsubbing from everything and moving to another platform. the fact you single me out for using twitch-tools.de and a vpn shows you don't care about user privacy at all. so stop with this pointless and easy to circumvent security measure that is only infuriating me and others.

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.

Bom vamos lá. Está é minha conta secundária estou mandando mensagem por ela pois estou com problemas na principal, minha conta principal eu coloquei o nome do e-mail do jeito errado. Eu coloquei “gamil” em vez de gmail e por isso não estou conseguindo verificar a conta e nem resgatar produtos das lojas dos streamers gostaria que resolvessem esse problema e entrassem em contato. O nome da minha conta principal é (el_ch4p0lin) se vocês verificarem o e-mail que está la ele está digitado errado se puderem entre em contato por esse email que estou mandando agora por conta do problema que relatei acima. O e-mail que falei que está digitado desse jeito: davidsantosoliver@gamil.com . Espero que entrem em contato, obrigado.

I use Google Voice for all my mobile needs. I give it out to every service that asks for my mobile number, and then, if they give it out to spammers, I can easily filter them out.

But I can't use my GV number for Twitch - it reports "only mobile phone numbers may be used".

I do not give out the number that goes to my SIM card. It's not necessarily going to be the same number if I switch providers, and literally every text and call I get through it and not GV is spam, because I never give it out.

Since people are starting to use "verified accounts only" on their chats, this has suddenly gone from "that's annoying" to "this is preventing me from participating in communities". And I don't think the streamers are wrong for using the filter, because I've watched what happens if they don't, so I'm not going to try and convince them to change it.

Perhaps GV allows you to get new numbers too easily, and all the other services I've used it with such as [checks notes] Amazon Web Services are inundated with people using fake GV numbers.

But I don't think that's the case, presently.

This may require a bigger team of course to implement, but I just signed up for a freelance website and the sign up process, is actually an application to use this site. I was required to verify my identity via uploading a photo of my ID AND a verifying statement such as a paystub, utility bill, etc. And also address verification (or at least a mailing/billing address) which should be added to the account anyways since payment information is stored for subscriptions.

I know that twitch has a younger population so that may not work, but it may also be a better way to minimize hate content if people know that usernames WILL be linked to verified personable accounts. That information can then be stored only for account verification purposes so no one can create an account using the same ID twice. If an account is voluntarily deleted, they must wait 60 days to sign up again using the same ID. And banned account cannot create other accounts using the same address as banned account or ID.

Just an idea to deal with hate raids and being able to identify culprits. It may take down viewership or the creation of new accounts essentially, but I do believe this will make Twitch a safer place.

For existing accounts, give them x amount of days to comply with the new requirements prior to accounts being forcefully suspended or deleted.

A workaround will have to be established for minors or Twitch may have to have a parental feature or an age restriction verified by ID.

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
