Moderation 2FA Requirement
I believe a feature in one's settings that makes it so moderators of the channel can't moderate without having Two Factor Authentification activated would be super useful, with this new optional settings it could dramatically decrease the amount of compromised moderator accounts while also raising more awareness for 2FA

This is an excellent idea! Even more important in 2019.

With this, however, Twitch would need to make a serious fail-safe for users who have misplaced their device with the 2FA features, or their backup codes.
I recently had a big panic when I got a new phone but didn't think about disabling 2FA on Discord before getting the new one. Thankfully I was able to locate a picture I took on the phone that happened to be backed up with my Google account. The problem here was that there was NO other way to authorize yourself.
So Twitch would need a secondary email way with security questions, or text-to-phone feature or something. It's a really solid idea that I fully support, but I would hate to see it enabled without some extra fail-safe.
