The solution proposed in prior issues is no longer valid, it seems

I found the problem for me (same issue)  Google recently asked me a series of 
questions that linked my Google+ account to my youtube account. This caused an 
extra step at each login asking which user I wanted to use for the login. This 
caused my script to fail mentioned above. I went into settings and disconnected 
this feature and the script now works. :-)

I dont think we can disconnect G+ pages/profiles anymore, I see no such option

I receive the same error, what is the verdict to solving this problem? How do I 
disconnect the feature mentioned in #3? Thank you in advance

I cannot reproduct the problem for now. Can anyone provide the full steps to do 
it?

I managed to solve the problem. Not by disconnecting the google+ from the 
channel, but by making a password for the google+ associated with the channel. 
My successful credentials include the auto-generated email address for the 
google+ account and my newly created password.

Thank you!
