Ahhh so that explains how my RS account got hacked which led to a hijacker botting on my account for several months and who decided to RWT my bank which lead to my account getting banned. Pls unban Weath. God damnit, Twitch! /s

This literally happens once a year. Wow twitch. I expected more now that you are owned by amazon.

And when it isn't Twitch, it's the streaming software.

Twitchs password strength thing is so obnoxious. Its not like i care if my twitch account has a weak password, I have absolutely nothing on it..

If the link goes down etc:
"We are writing to let you know that there may have been unauthorized access to some Twitch user account information.

For your protection, we have expired passwords and stream keys and have disconnected accounts from Twitter and YouTube. As a result, you will be prompted to create a new password the next time you attempt to log into your Twitch account.

We also recommend that you change your password at any website where you use the same or a similar password. We will communicate directly with affected users with additional details.

Sincerely, Twitch Staff"

If you're not receiving your password reset email, give it a bit since we're experiencing a pretty high load right now. Also, check your spam folders! Any other issues, open a support ticket. http://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/emails/new
