[PSA] Twitch Users - All passwords, stream keys, and linked accounts have been revoked.

Open

Basically, Twitch has had a security concern, with potential unauthorised access. As such, you need to generate a new stream key, create a new password, and re-link Twitter/Youtube accounts if you used any of those features.

Check your Twitch anyway, all linked accounts were removed, so you need to reset things anyway I believe.

Any official information if any passwords and other information (such as private messages) have been leaked? :/

The source I posted is as official as it gets. They are advising that you change any site where you used the same password, so it would appear some users at least, have had their passwords leaked.

Double reply, sorry, but just got information that Private Messages should not be affected. While only the information in my linked blog post is confirmed, PM's should not have been accessed, unless your account was accessed (extremely unlikely)

Thanks a lot for that info! Where did You get it, though? Also, You say that "only information in my linked blog post" is cofnirment thing but how can You know that? They just said that they have expired our passwords, not that we should change them for something else or so.

Got it from a Twitch support worker on Twitter, who was answering questions. And the blog post I linked DOES say to change passwords.

"We also recommend that you change your password at any website where you use the same or a similar password."

Direct quote from the blog post.

Well, true, that was what I wanted to write :D
I mean they didn't say if any password were leaked or not which I would like to know.
