    Change user agent. Log in, opting to stay logged in for 30 days. Change user agent back.

    That's my routine with LibreWolf.

    I also believe they don't like a particular security setting present on FF based browsers, though I don't recall off the top of my head which one.

      Thanks, this works. I can log into Twitch again after changing the user agent. Twitch stopped me from logging on before this change saying "Your browser is not supported". I'm using Librewolf. I suspect we'll be seeing more of this kind of thing.

        No problem.

        I remembered the security setting Twitch didn't like, as well. It was "Enable ResistFingerprinting". If it gives you any more trouble, check the LibreWolf section in your settings for that. Same deal: toggle off, login, toggle back on.

    Anecdotally, it's still working for me. Using uBlock Origin, logged in with a Twitch account.

    What does the "recommend browser" link point to? Is it this page, which lists Firefox as a supported browser? https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/supported-browsers?language=en_US

    Just a comment: IMO it's not worth using strong passwords on which you depend on privative/unknown security platforms. Who knows how many times they get hacked or have backdoors? Unless they specify they only store the hash I refuse to sacrifice one of my strong passwords.

    Edit: To all talking about password managers. I don't believe in single point of failure as a way to go. The fact that i've to explain that xd...

      You should use randomly generated passwords from a password manager, there is no short supply of strong random passwords.

        Waste one of my 2272657884496751345355241563627544170162852933518655225856 possible 32 character passwords on Twitch! Outrageous! What if I run out?
