This extension is a hobby project and doesn't have any monetisation, as such it requires you to "Bring Your Own Token" to access the supported platforms APIs.
On token security Access tokens are confidential, and need to be treated as such. The extension configuration panel will hide it by default to guard against accidental leaks in case of last minute configuration while on-stream. During operations, your API key is stored in the Twitch extension configuration service in an encrypted form. The extension backend does not store any information.
Steam: get your API key
On Steam the extension fetches your achievements from the Steam API, and as such requires you to provide your own Steam API Key.
Anyone with a Steam account can request an API Key, as long as you have spent more than 5 USD on the store (or the equivalent in your local currency).
On XBox, the extension currently relies on an external service, XAPI (https://xapi.us/) to access your achievements on the XBox network.
This service recently removed their free tier, offering a free trial instead and making it less practical for use in the extension. I am currently investigating other options in order to continue support for XBox users without relying on a paid subscription service.
Connect your XBox account on the "Xbox Live Accounts" page
Then go to your account's API Tokens page and generate a new one
Copy and save your token to a safe location

Live Panel
When the extension is active and you are on stream, you can find a live panel in your Stream Manager view.
This view allows you to force-push an update to the viewers, for instance when you just completed a new achievement. For services where the API quotas are available (currently XAPI) you can also monitor that you are not exceeding the limit.
