A Twitch password reset doesn’t take long, and it can save you a lot of frustration. Whether you’ve forgotten your login details or just want to improve your security, here’s everything you need to know.
Resetting your Twitch password
Go to the Twitch site homepage or your Twitch App and click “Log in.”
Click “Trouble logging in?” below the password box.
Enter the email address or phone number associated with your account.
Click “Continue.”
Enter your username and click “Send my password reset link.”
You’ll receive an email. Open it and click “Reset your password.”
Set and confirm your new password.
If you don’t know your username, follow these steps instead.
Go to the Twitch site homepage or Twitch app and click “Log in.”
Click “Trouble logging in?” below the password box.
Enter the email address or phone number associated with your account.
Click “Continue.”
Choose “I don’t know my username.”
Check your email. You’ll receive a message containing your username.
Return to the password reset process and continue with your recovered username.
Changing your Twitch username and display name
Your username, also known as your display name, is especially important if you want to become a creator on Twitch. The username is an essential part of a streamer’s branding. Knowing how to change it can be useful.
Log in to Twitch and click your profile icon in the top right corner.
Choose “Settings” from the dropdown menu, then go to “Profile.”
Input your new username in “Profile settings.” Note that this detail can only be changed every two months.
However, you can still adjust the capitalization of your username in the box below your username, even if it has not been two months since the last change.
When you’re ready, click “Save changes.”
Changing your Twitch password
Login credentials keep your Twitch account safe and, in the event of a security breach, your first step should be to change them. This step is important particularly if you’ve been using the same password to log in to various websites or apps. If one gets compromised, the best damage-control strategy is to immediately change passwords on all of them.
Log in to Twitch and click on your profile icon in the top right corner.
Click “Settings” on the dropdown menu.
Open the “Security and privacy” tab.
Choose “Change password” under “Security.”
Enter your current password.
Write down and confirm your new password.
Click “Set password.”
Resetting your Twitch email address
It’s not unusual to get a new email address, especially if the old account has been hacked. Remember to update your Twitch details as soon as this happens. The email address linked to your Twitch account plays an essential role in the username and password recovery process. If you need to change it, follow these six steps.
Log in to Twitch and click on your profile icon in the top right corner.
Click “Settings” on the dropdown menu.
Open the “Security and privacy” tab.
Click the pencil icon next to your current email address, under “Contact.”
Enter and confirm your new email address.
Click “Save.”
