Created this extension for my personal use case where I had a YouTube account with tons of liked videos and playlists that I carefully built over the years. I forgot the password and couldn’t sign in. Google offered no way to recover it. My entire collection was gone just like that.

Also whenever you log into YouTube, Google forces you to log into Gmail, Photos, Drive, and all their other services even if you don’t want to and they track everything.
