anyone else getting this when they sign into youtube?

it's every time now.  my password isnt enough.  they insist my phone makes sure it's me, not the fact that i always sign in from home.

I get this occasionally; but I think it is just needed when the gmail login expires over time.

I have three gmail accounts.

My accounts are now two factor and things get a bit confusing.

I am not even sure that I log in to youtube. There's a channel with my name, but I don't have to log in and it doesn't seem to have a gmail address associated with it.

Well finally manage to visit https://www.youtube.com in librewolf.

It asked me to accept cookies etc etc and I do see a login link in upper right. I don't think I am logged in librewolf, but it doesn't ask me to do anything. If I click on the login I see a google style request, but I don't want to enter any of my emails  as it wiill likely start pestering me on my phone.

My normal browser is firefox and I think my mozilla account email there is one of my gmail accounts. I suppose that's the login being used when I visit youtube. Not much use for your issue I'm afraid

I don't have a Youtube account but Odysee doesn't do this when you log out and log in again:
https://odysee.com/@samtime:1/so,-apple-intelligence-is-kinda-broken:d

Although Odysee might appear to have a higher proportion of "controversial" content this is almost always also found on YouTube and is because people who produce it are more motivated to duplicate their work on other platforms in case it gets removed. Odysee itself is pretty good as an alternative and does have a lot of regular uncontroversial material too, although the search engine on there isn't that great at finding things sometimes.
