I checked the username and password in .netrc dozens of times and tried various username / email / password combos. Nothing is working.

I knew @dstftw would do that without posting any supporting links to other issues. I went through pages of search results and found nothing helpful or at least recent.

I have same issue, but everything was working weeks ago. I did not changed my YT password nor my download script. What's happening?

The above link helped me fix my issue. I couldn't download my "watch later" and in the log file, it kept saying invalid password.
