Same problem here. I was loged in until this morning. Then suddenly I was logged out and now I'm no longer able to login.

EDIT:
This fix worked for me. Plugin works fine again.

An FYI for some members... following the link that Temar posted fixed my YouTube issue as well... however after deleting the folder and reinstalling the plugin, it asked for the 2 Factor Authentication Pin but did NOT bother to email, txt, etc. a pin number...

To get around this, if prompted for a pin, enter 0000, hit done and you'll be told Log in failed... but if you reopen the plugin a second time (without changing anything) it will log in properly.

Funny thing is I've had 2 Factor set up since they introduced it and never had a problem until and it didn't actually use the real 2 Factor with this plugin... which is odd.

This issue has been bothering me for some time now and I haven't found a solution yet ... been through hundreds of old forum pages and nothing worked.

It's strange since youtube is only the most viewed video site and xmbc the most used media center ... and no one can put this two working together ... really!

Anyone with IT/Developer capacity please solve this issue!!!

+1 anyone a fix for this?

I use two factor authentication and there is a nice pop-up asking for the key, after filling in, login failed.
