Youtube app driving me insane!

I did the whole google song and dance a few weeks ago. They sent me a code etc. and I set up my password. It was a massive pain in the neck because neither google nor YouTube tells you about this when you try to sign into the app. Now the YouTube app once again won't accept my password. Should I just go ahead and put my brains on the wall, because I really don't want to go through all that again.

 

I do. But it's not that simple. The only way I could sign in to YouTube with my gmail account was to do the 2 step verification. This involves them sending you a code, it must be done on a full moon, a blood sacrifice is required and the month must end in "y". I did all that, signed into the app and everything was fine for the past few weeks. I just want to know if I'm going to have to do the verification thing on a regular basis. If the answer is "yes", then to hell with the YouTube app.

 

Tell me this doesn't make your head hurt. Does it REALLY have to be that complicated? I could understand it for email, but for YouTube?

 

Just to make sure, but are you using an application specific password? If so it should work unless you've disabled the password for some reason.

 

I cancelled it this morning in order to get ANOTHER app specific password. The one they say you only need to do once. Yeah, that one. But no, I didn't "accidentally" cancel it to start this whole thing. Quite frankly I don't know how you could do that accidentally. The app is working now, but my point still stands. It was a massive pain to start with, and I received no help from the YouTube people. I had to really go digging to find that out about 2 step verification. And they claimed I would only have to do it once. Very bad customer service.

 

I love my iPad to death but if there is one thing I hate it is the Youtube app.

 

Amen

 

Was the blood sacrifice a virgin. I had that problem and once I found a virgin (not very easy to do) the problem was solved.
