Changing the password for a social media account is very important since it holds important data like credit/debit card info, address, phone number, and email address. When it comes to Twitch, you can change the password on both the mobile app and the web version. Earlier, Twitch restricted users from changing the password and username on Twitch mobile version. Now, they let users customize their profile on the mobile app too.
