Description

Youtube-dl is unable to authenticate with youtube, thus it cannot see the history.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is NOT a duplicate of any open issue as you may see on the below screen shot. I've searched the exact error message:

There are similar closed issues, but they all are closed with neither solution nor explanation. Please not close this issue as duplicate because it is not. This is a real issue and I hope you read this message. Thank you!

@dstftw on #26183 (comment) You've advised to search for "Unable to look up account info: HTTP Error 404: Not Found".
I did that.
All are issues closed as duplicates without a reference. None of them are with solutions. No open issues.

Half of them are mine.

Also tried with Google. 2 results:

What am I doing wrong??? I am honestly trying to help!

Is it some kind of fat trolling or what? https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/search?q=Unable+to+look+up+account+info%3A+HTTP+Error+404%3A+Not+Found&state=open&type=Issues, first hit.

Of course not trolling!

I've seen that issue, but the error message is different, so I considered it a different issue.
Their error:

[youtube:user] Downloading login page
[youtube:user] Looking up account info
[youtube:user] Logging in
[youtube:user] Checking cookie
[youtube:user] welcome: Downloading channel page
WARNING: Unable to download webpage: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

My error:

[youtube:history] Downloading login page
[youtube:history] Looking up account info
WARNING: Unable to look up account info: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

Their error is on the channel page, and mine is on the login. That is at least my understanding.

Thanks for the link, I really appreciate your response!
