How to Change your Email Address on Twitch on Desktop

Twitch will primarily use your email address as a means to get in touch with you and verify your identification. It is critical that you update your online accounts, such as your Twitch profile, whenever you switch to a new email address in order to ensure that you continue to get notifications. If you do not update your email address, Twitch will send all alerts to the last email address that was associated with your account. Using Twitch’s 2fa authentication increases the risk that you won’t receive vital security notifications that are necessary to keep your account safe. This is especially true if you use Google Authenticator.

We’ll walk you through the process of changing or updating your email address in the desktop version of Twitch in this article.
