I see it as a "pre" outage notification for when Google turns this on and all the space cadet influencers can no longer log into their accounts, it will be reported as a widespread outage of YouTube.. :-) On Wed, Oct 20, 2021 at 9:37 PM David Papageorge via Outages < outages@outages.org> wrote:
Cool, but how is this an outage?

Directly, that's not necessarily a big thing, but if you have a gmail
account
associated with the YT account -- as they forced some years back -- and you've forgotten about that, devices may not be able to send or receive email through that account anymore either, and it's not clear whether you can turn 2FA back off for such accounts, or de-associate them from the YT account.
I know this will break things as I had a client turn on 2FA for an account a few months back, and their copier stopped being able to mail scans to people.
A low-impact problem... unless you have it. And can't figure out why.
