Relax. You're getting 503 errors currently due to their appservers likely being overloaded by the crowd rushing in (it's their front-end servers replying that they can't reach the back-end.)

It'll take a good while before a service of this magnitude returns to normal operations, but I bet it'll be back just in time for HSC.

As long as you see anything but their maintenance page, it's up and will return to normal soon.

I was able to reset password, but it is unable to give me a new stream key.

This is one thing you absolutely do not have to worry about. I'm 100% positive that twitch does not store your credit card details. They are being passed to their payment provider without being logged or anyone at twitch even ever seeing them

Edit - source: I've PCI certified a payment gateway. If something like this was to happen, it would rain hellfire upon Twitch.

Other than that, as someone on the first page mentioned, people were apparently being logged into different accounts via cookies. "CDN issue" makes sense in that case and the password reset is just a precaution to make sure those that were affected by this didn't screw with the other persons account.

Edit: Nevermind, they clarified that this was just a display issue:

Obviously they can't leave it like that though

Well, you are probably right. But working for an AV company makes one paranoid... and I remember GomTV not so long was hacked and they had a DB into a text file?! (perhaps I'm wrong, with user/passwords inside).

Seems like it's slowly getting up

Just in time for HSC, phew ! Quick handling by twitch, although this is a bit the downside of such a monopoly ^^

As said before: it likely doesn't work for you (or anyone) right now, but it's still in a "coming right up" phase. It will take them a while to get back to normal, give them an hour or so.

I know this is kinda unralated to the actual problem but I hope that it will be a wake-up call for Twitch in regard to all the issues they have! Hope its back up soon.

These are probably just idle viewers staring at a black screen. Would normally be 10 times as much.

Thankfully there are Azubu and Youtube streams for this. WCS needs that as well, this shows again you cant rely on just 1 stream service.
