Login to Youtube + Google Prompt/Authenticator

[TarekSalama]

I know it's possible to download Youtube videos that require you to be logged in by supplying in your email and password however I do have the Google Prompt added as well as an authenticator.
Here's what I tried (and failed):

• Supplying my email, password and authentication code but I got "Invalid parameters" and at the same time my phone got the Google Prompt. I tried accepting the Google Prompt but it didn't help.
• Supplying my email and password and quickly accepting the Google Prompt as soon as it came up on my phone. Didn't work.
• Removing the Google Prompt option and relying on just the authenticator, same thing as my first attempt.

Any ideas?

Google Prompt support is not added to youtube-dl yet. Follow #9857 for updates.

Currently SMS and TOTP are known to work.

@yan12125 So if I'm to use SMS or TOTP (I have my codes generated by 1Password), what do I need to do in order to get it working? As I mentioned earlier, when I turned off Google Prompt the codes didn't work either. Am I missing something?

Looks like TOTP is broken, too. It doesn't work for me, either.

you know I think it's best to fix this by working on OAuth. I luckily have docs on how it works and not to mention the huge GitHub repos source samples on our side.
I'll start working on the OAuth or alternatives commit immediately.
