Can't find how to enter a login and password for youtube #101

Hi, I'm trying to DL videos from youtube which require me to enter my login and password to confirm my age. But I can't find where to enter a login and password for these videos in youtube-dl-gui for Windows (32 & 64bits). I saw this option exist since version 2.5.x. Was it removed or Can someone tell me how / where to find it?

You mean download with authentication?

You could also use yt-dlp, which bypasses login requirements... for now.

Many Thanks man for your fast reply. It works like a charm after I configured Youtube-dl-gui to use yt-dlp. I was able to dl the files
