You either create or sign in your account with gmail and link it back to youtube (Just follow prompts). Add new user and password from the newly created gmail account in the YouTube plugin within xbmc and your good to go.
Just wanted to comment on the login process as Google has rolled out an update changing the requirements for Youtube login credentials. Seems YouTube has begun limiting access to users with Google accounts only. :

Quote:As was recently announced on the main YouTube blog, all YouTube accounts must be linked to a Google Account or else logins will start fail—the current plan is to disable logins for unlinked accounts towards the end of April. The only workaround is to have your users link their YouTube account to a Google Account. If they login from a web browser, either at http://www.youtube.com or using AuthSub/OAuth, they’ll be taken through the steps to link accounts.
If you've recently been experience problems with login and haven't got a linked account yet that is the problem, head over to YouTube to link your accounts.
We understand that some users might be hesitant to pass on their google account credentials to the plug-in (paranoia is healthy ), and for these users we suggest switching to Googles "2 factor" authentication scheme and generating an application specific password for the plug-in. Note that once you enable 2 factor authentication you will need to generate an application specific password for the plugin to work again.
