You will need to call to the Kraken or Helix API with the correct scope to get the email. So even if you make an updated passport strategy, it won’t pull email.

**THIS INFORMATION IS WRONG**

It will if you make the correct claims under openID auth

You don’t need to do that. Please refer to the claims section of OIDC

I construct the following URL to redirect people to:

```
    var url = oidc_data.authorization_endpoint
        + '?client_id=' + client
        + '&redirect_uri=' + redirect
        + '&response_type=code'
        + '&force_verify=true'
        + '&scope=openid'
        + '&state=' + encodeURIComponent(req.session.state)
        + '&claims=' + JSON.stringify({
            userinfo: {
                email:null,
                email_verified:null,
                picture:null,
                preferred_username:null
            }
        });

```

Where `oidc_data` is fetched from `https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/.well-known/openid-configuration`

Making a call to `oidc_data.userinfo_endpoint` I get:
