So i'm fucked kind of. Youtube decided to be all bullshit sketchy and make you link your account to a gmail. Well I can't get into the gmail that I had linked it up with and now I can't get into my fucking account.

I know my username and my password.


Anybody got any ideas? Plus K for help

I don't remember the password. I didn't feel like linking it to my main gmail account. Gmails fucking already skecthy as shit. They want a phone number to confirm your account, and youtube needs a link to that? It's fucking dumb. Finally found a help forum and they want a ridiculous amount of information

I might just toy with it for a few weeks and see if I can get in

dont they have a forgot my password button where you can eventually just send a new one to an alternate email address which is probably your real one?

googles fucking weak. Everything is saved and all that shit. Now to make a gmail they want a cell phone number to confirm it. I def don't want my cell phone attached to my email attached to my youtube.



Actually the easiest way for somebody to help would be...

Can somebody tell me when you sign into youtube with your gmail if you need your gmail password or just your old youtube account password?

I think i have a better chance with my youtube password.

people talk about this stuff a lot it seems. but if they save everything what could they legally/possibly do with it besides use it for marketing? and are they allowed to link IPs to people?

but even if they do, what could they do with everything they save? it's not as if they can just give it out or whatever (unless it's illegal shit, idk what happens then)

anyone know?
