The problem is still alive. I tested it with another browser and log in was no problem at all. So it is an opera issue.
@burnout426 thanks for the link but unfortunately it doesn't help. Reinstalling is not a proper fix in my opinion especially when it's not even guaranteed.

@balduin01 The link was just to show that other users are discussing it on Reddit. Wasn't suggesting any solutions, especially since it seems to be a server issue.

Isn't it a twitch issue also? It did work before, after all.

@burnout426 I have problem with Twich too, as on bill-g screen, only in fresh opera PC update. Problem in window with code confirmation from Twitch, that not showing. On mobile opera and other PC brousers working normal, showing.

code confirmation not showing

When this issue started, I got the code confirmation form, but entering the correct code didn't help. Still got a login error. Then, even in a fresh install of Opera, I was no longer getting the code confirmation form showing. So, I think it was more than just the code form not showing up.

Anyway, I just checked right now and was able to log in to Twitch in Opera Stable finally.

Maybe I got lucky. But, just in case, before you try to log in again, goto the URL opera://settings/siteData, type twitch.tv in the search-cookies field, and click "remove all shown".

@burnout426 I am done all what possible to do, and its Opera PC problem only. Version 91.0.4516.20. Maybe something blocking possibiliti to Twitch start confirmation of entering or another. In previous versions i had not any problem with Twitch. And in other brausers too. (And channel points is not worked normal, its why i was tried reenter twitch account).

@burnout426 I am also unable to log into twitch. I have sent a support ticket to twitch, but I suspect it's an issue with the latest version of Opera. I've been able to log into twitch with previous versions of Opera.

@mrgaby It doesn't necessarily means that the problem is with Opera.

@leocg i can only think of 2 options opera latest update with twitch compatibility or changes to twitch that makes opera not function on it the right way.

This sounds more like the case, especially since trying to log in with older versions of Opera doesn't work either.

User on Reddit said to try regular Opera 90.0.4480.84. I did and can consistently log in to Twitch with it. But, maybe we're just getting lucky.

If you want test that version (to help confirm and or use that version for logging into Twitch for now until things are sorted out) without messing with your regular Opera / Opera GX, do the following.

Download Opera 90.0.4480.84 to your downloads folder.

Open a Windows command prompt, type:

cd "%userprofile%\Downloads"

and press enter.

Then, type:

"Opera_90.0.4480.48_Setup_x64.exe" --launchopera=0

and press enter.

When the installer loads, click "options", click "change" next to "Install path", select "Desktop", click "make new folder", type "Opera Test" for the name, press enter, and click OK. Confirm that the install path is a folder named "Opera Test" on your desktop.

Then, for "Install for", set it to "Standalone installation (USB)". Then, choose "Accept and Install". Give it a second to install Opera to the folder on your desktop. Opera won't open by itself.

Go into the "Opera Test" folder on your desktop, go into the "90.0.4480.48" folder, and delete "opera_autoupdate.exe".

Then, go up one level back to the root of the "Opera Test" folder and double-left-click launcher.exe to start that Opera, and test if you can log into Twitch with it.

You can test older versions of Opera GX the same way to test for a version that lets you log in.
