  1. I forgot the password to my account and didn't receive a single password reset email. I tried to verify my account through customer support but they said they couldn't verify it. Being as I don't have any of the information they request linked to my account other than my email it's a bit redundant. If there was a way of verifying via linked account such as a PlayStation Network account, or via a Discord account, it could make the whole process much easier.

  2. Don't un-verify accounts just because of getting a new phone & allow people to re-verify accounts by getting verification codes sent to email, since getting them sent to phones seems incredibly problematic: i've been trying to re-verify my long-standing account for over a week now, & i NEVER receive the code at all, & this is for an account that had been previously verified for at least a decade & still lists my email as verified, yet somehow, no longer considers me verified anymore, when all i did was get a new phone (which never receves the verification codes &…

  5. I need to switch back to an old email address and the system will not let me. I am not getting drops after changing my email address because the old one is associated with the game. I'm trying to reach some sort of help desk but the site is not clear how to contact anyone?

  8. Your parent company Amazon offers phone verification with "send a call with a code" option that accepts landline phone # for verification.
    Please if phone verification is mandatory now you cannot, I repeat with extra stressors, CANNOT EXCLUDE ANYONE.
    This should have happened simultaneously with the change-over to mandatory phone verification.
    What was the thought process here? Skip an entire demographic with no valid justification?

  9. The password system in twitch has me put beyond disbelief. I have truly never experienced a more horrific security protocol; it is almost comparable to the password game, which was created as a joke. I would like to suggest some changes.

    1. scrap the existing system, unfixable.
    2. make a three character minimum; this is all that is necessary for actual security increase. People who take their privacy seriously will act accordingly.
    3. Allow special characters. It is genuinely baffling that as a company you made the conscious decision to decrease the amount of usable characters in a password.
    4. Get rid of whatever…

  10. I have tried for quite a stretch of time to get my mobile phone number accepted by Twitch, yet still no luck, due to Twitch saying I already used my mobile number to verify an account before. That is a straight-up lie, considering I did not get my phone until 1 years ago at Christmas, and I haven't even attempted verifying with my phone number at all, until recently! I have seen another person with the same issue, January of this year, which I have linked at the bottom of this post. My theory is that someone had my phone…

  12. I have had my phone number for over a year now and I am unable to use to due to the fact that whoever had it before has it registered to THEIR account. When I contact support after having explained that the account the number is currently connected to isn't mine and I don't know the person, they tell me to VERIFY THAT THE ACCOUNT WITH THE NUMBER IS MINE.

    Please. Upgrade your support and make it easier for people to claim THEIR PHONE NUMBERS.

  13. 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…

  15. There has been a bug where twitch wont send out a phone verification number and so when someone wants to set up alerts and such, without phone verification, they can't. I've personally been trying for DAYS to get them to send me verification and nothing has come through while other apps have no issue.

  16. Can we get a tool to remove our data from specific third-party websites one at a time? Right now, if I don't want some random tracker, stats site, or fan site scraping my info, it’s really hard to protect our privacy. We should have the right to choose who sees our data and who doesn't. We need a setting in "Security and Privacy" to remove data by typing in the name of the site to request data removal, forcing them to stop showing that user's data on the requested site. Please upvote this to help us get our privacy back…

  17. Dear Twitch Support / Product Team,
    I am writing to you as a member of the gaming community in the Philippines to share feedback regarding the current user experience on your platform.
    While there is a massive and passionate audience for live streaming in our region, many individuals are currently finding it extremely difficult to access or set up accounts. Specifically, the Security & Privacy verification process—particularly the delivery of SMS verification codes—is often inconsistent or non-functional with local mobile carriers.

  18. Hello Twitchers

    My idea is simple to use disabling bot before there can post anything.

    With the help of current technology, it has become possible in recent months to create bots, fake accounts, and similar non-human accounts and attack streamers.

    My idea to limit this is very simple.

    All Twitch accounts must verify their person with a valid ID.

    Acceptable IDs:

    • National ID card
    • Passport
    • Credit Card

    One Person One Account
    Bots are not real

  19. Twitch data reports are great but they do feel unnecessarily limiting. It would be great it we could get more information from data reports aside from what is currently available.

    Some examples include:
    - Whispers history
    - Channel Analytics
    - Channels you are VIP/mod
    - Channel Activity (stream title changes/etc.)
    - Twitch team information
    - Mod comments you've made
    - Channel points you've earned
    - Charity events you've created/managed

  20. Hi Twitch Team,

    I’d like to suggest a new security feature for the Twitch mobile/desktop app: the ability to require a PIN code or fingerprint/Face ID unlock before opening the app.

    This would:

    • Improve privacy and security for streamers and viewers.

    • Prevent unauthorized access if the device is shared or lost.

    • Enhance overall user confidence in using the Twitch app safely.

    I believe this feature would be especially helpful for users who stream or manage multiple accounts from a single device.

    Thank you for considering this suggestion, and keep up the great work with Twitch!

    Best regards,
    Jean Mikhael /…
