    YouTube What is the proper way to login now?

    I feel like I am playing a slot machine or something when I try to get the YT login correctly. What is the current proper way to do it?
    After deleting the cache folder to troubleshoot a problem, I am logged out again. Maybe I should have just renamed the folder.
    Anyway, I have found no useful way to get logged in correctly any more, it just works at random. Now when I click login I get the cookies error from YT itself.
    Maybe next week it will suddenly work again.
    It used to be a Chrome login only, even that doesn't work any more.

      It hasn't worked properly for me in about a year or more. I just copy the URL and paste it into SF

        Clear cache, open Google Chrome, log in to YouTube account, close Google Chrome, open streamfab, click on the YouTube icon in streamfab to open the website, and click on account login to complete the process

        Take a look at this:

        When I logged into my YouTube account, I was blocked by Google and prompted that it was not safe. I used the method provided by Streamfab, cleared the cache, and uninstalled and reinstalled it. I asked Streamfab customer service, but they didn't know how to solve it. My computer is Windows 11, and both browsers Edge and Chrome

          Yes thanks for the replies. The old documented method seems to not work any more, thus my inquiry. I would figure my now we would progress to a "cookie thief" process like RF was using, with more browsers than just Chrome.
          I was able to find a nearly empty cookies.txt file in my root temp video cache folder, the contents of the file simply stated something about Netscape. I took my old cookies.txt I used before with a Firefox cookies downloader and pasted it in like 12 locations again with no results. Then again, today it seems to have latched on again.
          The randomness, hard to figure out what did or did not work.

            I've done that numerous times and it'll work once or twice, but then doesn't. Gave up on it a long time ago, but thank you anyway
