Twitch Password Reset Not Working? Here's What to do

Twitch brought millions of viewers and thousands of streamers together, making the latter pop stars of modern society.

However, although the platform usually works without significant issues, some Twitch users were unable to reset the password after a lot of tries.

The procedure is as simple as it usually is with all account-based services, but it seemingly won’t work for some.

Firstly, make sure you navigate to the Password Reset Request page here and try from there. If that doesn’t help, follow the steps in this guide.

Why is Twitch unable to reset my password?

• Cache and cookies are blocking the process – If you don’t clean them periodically, they might harm specific apps or activities. Thus, you’re going to discover how to do it with ease.
• Bugs in the factory settings – Your browser might sometimes run into unexpected and temporary settings-related troubles. We’re going to show you how to refresh your browser, and after that, you might be able to reset your pass.
• Server-related issue – In this case, you’ll probably need to wait until they are resolved. In addition, you can always raise a ticket to the dedicated Twitch team.

If Twitch is still unable to reset your password, we are most likely looking at a server-related issue or temporary bug with the app.

In case you’re in a hurry, the only way to proceed is to send a report ticket to the dedicated team and ask for the email link that will allow you to reset your Twitch pass.

How do I change my Twitch password?

1. Launch your browser.
2. Visit the password reset page and input your email, then click on the Continue button.
   
3. Follow the instructions sent to your email to reset your password.

That should be enough to allow you to reset your Twitch password. However, if you are still unable to reset your account password on Twitch, we suggest waiting for some time and trying again on the dedicated link.

Note that if a regular Twitch password reset is not working on your mobile devices, the above method should also come in handy.

And if Twitch is not sending a password reset code, ensure you have the correct email, and try again after a few minutes.

Lastly, a Twitch password reset may work even if you have no email, but you must contact support.
