YouTube login is insecure, so I'm unable to log in
« on: April 21, 2020, 02:17:07 pm »

I enabled streaming, then noticed YouTube is an option.  I clicked, then saw I could log in.  When I entered my user name, it gave me a message this browser is insecure, and would not let me log in.

Tried Chromium, switched to Internet Explorer, then back to Chromium; failed to let me log in every time.

Don't think YouTube login works anymore. As far as I know YouTube login was removed in recent builds.

EDIT: I think it was removed in 26.0.30 with this change...

Code: [Select]
Changed: Removed the Manage YouTube account option from Services because it's no longer working.
I recall Matt mentioning a month or two ago he was going to remove it because it doesn't work.

I don't think that's the issue.  This isn't a "Services" thing.  It's one of the options under "Streaming" and just opens what appears to be a normal webpage.  Trying to log in on that page is what fails.  The page works fine, it just says the browser is insecure, and it happens on both browsers.  I don't know if the chromium engine is outdated, or lacking some functionality to be secure, but something about it YouTube/Google doesn't like.

YouTube started black-listing all embedded browsers for some reason. There is probably nothing we can do about that.

It should then be removed from the option. Just ran into this issue..
