Trying to enter the API Key, Client ID, and Secret into You Tube settings with your remote will drive you insane. Videos on You Tube which attempt to show how its done are confusing or don't work.
There is a better method which I have found that is simple and works. I used a Windows PC but most any OS should work as well.
Find (or search with IP) your Kodi device in your Network.
Click to open and display Kodi folders.
Select "addon_data" folder.
Select "plugin.video.youtube" folder.
Right click on "api_keys,json" and open with Notepad (I used Notepad++) Do not open in any browser.. it will not edit!
Copy and paste your 3 settings between the displayed " "
Save and exit.
Reboot Kodi and verify your settings appear.
How to get your API Key, Client ID, and Secret is beyond the scope of this post.
Good luck and stay safe.
