Find a way to log into youtube #5

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, due to a policy in place by Google, you are unable to log into a Google account with automation. This is obviously exactly what we need so this is important to figure out.

Describe the solution you'd like The uploader to be able to authenticate itself into my Google account and access [studio.youtube.com]().

Describe alternatives you've considered I have tried using Selenium, BeautifulSoup, seeding user data, and combinations of them all to no avail.

Additional context The reason Google does not allow this is because they want to prevent attacks on user profiles.

Attempted to use previously generated user data to bypass Google log in screen. This worked great when starting the browser manually but Google still picked up the automation and forced a log in anyways.

Most recent attempt went back to Google to try and find an API that would work, when that failed I tried to resubmit the OAuth consent so hopefully it will go through and not cost anything. I also went back to working on the Selenium web driver and found that if I logged into the browser once I was able to seed the account with user data and log in, although I was stopped at the file upload screen.

I would try finding a way to get Selenium to upload the files for a temporary fix while we figure a way around Google.
