I was playing single-player "Minecraft 1.8-OptiFine_HD_U_A6" as according to the launcher, and that version has never had a problem before....
I was testing out the same single-player world using "Minecraft 1.8" as according to the launcher, and that version has never this problem before, either....
**I had no other mods installed for Minecraft other than Optifine on the modded 1.8 version previously used.
What I expected to happen was...:
When I tried to access the Broadcast Options, to move to that options screen freely, as usual;
When I tried to stream using the game's built-in stream start/stop keyboard shortcut, to begin streaming.
What actually happened was...:
A Twitch error message/screen appears, as shown below.
How it happened, etc:
When I press F6 to start streaming or click on "Broadcast Options" in any Menu screen:
Twitch Broadcasting Unavailable |

Authentication to Twitch failed. Please go to mojang.com and rebind your Twitch account. |
My Mojang account page says it is linked, and my Twitch settings say it has been linked for 7 hours, which seems impossible, – although my Twitch was possibly hacked on 3/23/2015 ... – because I had just unlinked and then re-linked the two accounts less than 30 minutes earlier, after said issues were discovered.
I have tried closing out of and restarting the launcher but I haven't tried much else yet.
I searched for this issue and only found one that came anywhere close, although it was still obviously not the same issue as I was having.
I have not tried rebooting my desktop or logging out and back into the launcher, but I have shut down and powered it up again, just not in the same day (I have yet to see if that fixed it or not).
I have a theory as to why this problem could have occurred, but I won't know until sometime next week as to whether or not it could have had even the slightest effect on the situation.
Nevermind, it is fixed for Vanilla 1.8; Optifine 1.8 version seems to be fixed as well... maybe turning the desktop off and back on did it?

I just tried it in vanilla 1.8 and same thing happened. I'd put up a video to prove it more authentically, but that might be somewhat difficult to do... .
As your Twitch account was hacked, you need to change the password of the Twitch account and then relink the accounts.
That I did, Sonic:
I check my Twitch and Twitter to make sure everything is in order before I stream, but today when I logged into Twitch, I was forced to change my password by the Twitch website because of what had happened.
After that I made sure everything else on Twitch was as it should be, before running the game and encountering the error message.
Thank you for your report.
However, your ticket has been resolved as invalid.
This ticket relates to a modified or 3rd party client, server, or launcher.
Any non-standard client/server/launcher build needs to be taken up with the appropriate team, not Mojang.
Any plugin issues need to be addressed to the creator of the plugin or resource pack.
This site is for addressing issues related to the base unmodded Minecraft; Bukkit, Forge, Optifine, modded servers such as The Hive, Overcast, Showbot, Hypixel or any other modded system invalidates your ticket, unless the behavior can be reproduced in Vanilla.
Additionally, if you have problems on large-scale modded servers, please report it to their site. It's probably not a bug in Vanilla Minecraft.
:info: If you are able to reproduce your issue in a vanilla environment, feel free to create a new ticket.
