What is the point of having a QR code option if we can't use it unless we have a phone number?

You should give us the option to use a QR code with any authenticator app instead of using a phone number!

I'm getting so fed up of everyone wanting a phone number from me, I don't have a phone because it's a waste of money because I never use it!

I've had various mobile phones for 20 years and I rarely used them because I don't see the point of using a phone to talk to people when I can do that right here on my computer, I can barely afford to pay for my internet connection and having a phone would be a complete waste of money!

I don't even need a phone to use an authenticator app because I have an authenticator app on my tablet!

The only reason I'm even bothering with the 2FA thing is because it's part of the requirements to become an affiliate or partner!

Also, I've not had a phone for 2 years and I've not missed it at all, the only thing I miss is telling all those scam callers where to stick their scams, I was getting at least 1 scam caller every day and they had gotten my phone number from websites just like this one!

I and many other users are quite frustrated with the following streak stopping after accidentally unfollowing. Its quite sad that twitch-support can not help with this problem either.
It would be nice that the following streak always continues from the first time you are following a streamer.

I just experienced, that I unfollowed a streamer, who was banned, so it couldn't be me, accidentally, and was sad to find out my following streak ended.

I heard that it's quite normal that a twitch-streamer loses followers while being banned, but it's sad to see, that also active users are getting unfollowed.

I personally think it would be an easy problem to solve (at least it sounds easy :)), while also making users/customers really happy.

Kind regard,

Maybe we can have a system where if people mob up on someone and report them for offensive username they get automatically banned waiting for the user to wait until a ban appeal goes through that took a month for the first time and is now longer than a month the second time just one year away. I can only submit one dispute for the ban per TOS. I think removing this auto ban and requiring a human person to determine if a username is offensive would be a great start at redeeming my faith in Twitch that I've been a part of since Justin.tv. My case number is 04033411 ban appeal, GET TO WORK!!

In Italy they have created a Public Digital Identity System (SPID), for any request within the city or province you must have this Digital Identity.

Twitch's problem, I would say the biggest, are threats and insults, a very important solution is the BAN but it's not enough!
•
We must note that there is too much chaos on the web!
•
By applying the SPID system at least in Italy, Twich "Beta" could test this reality and then maybe expand it in Europe and maybe even around the world!
•
With digital identity we will no longer have insults, threats of any kind!
I often read comments in the chat of racist, sexist, homophobic type, with this identity putting the face to the comment we will have much less problems.

Let's apply the Public Digital Identity System (SPID) to Twich in Italy! Please!

Thank you!
