It is sad that you didn't have a solution for my issue. Anyway, I fixed it and downloaded the video I wanted to download. |

There is no issue. You did not pass account credentials to youtube-dl in any supported form. |

I was able to download that particular video without passing my account credentials. So it wasn't about the credential. Anyway, thank you. |
