Youtube: Incorrect youtube account details
Hey,

I created a special password for dirt3 youtube, because that is a must in order to allow applications to connect to your youtube account.

After 10.000 tries i still get the error message: Incorrect youtube account details.

Like WTF!? Anyone knows how to fix this? Or is it an problem that is caused by steam?

I doubt the service is still active :-/ but I might be wrong.

I can tell you that the service IS active and currently works. Google is blocking the access because of the location of the ip which is trying to connect. Check you're email associated with the YouTube account for a message about 'suspicious activity' and follow the directions enclosed on how to allow the 3rd party to connect to you're account.

Try http://store.steampowered.com Worked for me. In my opinion it's better to use a recording program though, as the quality isn't very good.

Just came across this myself. Strange that Dirt 3 seems to make Google think it's in Amsterdam for me.

RO: Salut, probabil ati intampinat si voi problema asta, de cate ori incercati sa va conectati pe contul de Youtube din Dirt3 vi se spune ca datele sunt gresite. Rezolvarea este destul de simpla:
- Contul sa fie de gmail neeaparat !
- Intrati pe: https://www.google.com/settings/security
- La "Permisiuni Cont" click pe: Afisati-le pe toate
- Acum click pe: Gestionați parolele pentru aplicații
- La "Selectati Aplicatia" alegeti "Alta aplicatie" si tastati: http://store.steampowered.com
- Apasati butonul "Generati" sau enter
- Vi se va oferi o parola din 16 caractere, cuplate 4 cate 4 sperate prin cate un spatiu
- Intrati in joc, la Youtube Username puneti adresa voastra de email ( exemplu@gmail.com )
- La parola puneti parola aceea de 16 caractere, CU TOT CU SPATII !!
- Distractie placuta

I am experiencing the same problem as OP, but your instructions are innacurate...I do not see an option anywhere in Google's account settings that let me "Select an Application"

App Passwords, then dropdown (on the left), pick "custom", then generate.

That's really for people who have turned on 2-factor authentication though.

And I tried this and it STILL doesn't work. ARGH!

I found the solution ! You need to go to https://myaccount.google.com/, and log in with your YouTube informations. Scroll down to "Signing in", and click on "Access for less secure apps", and click : "Turn on". Save the settings, and log in DIRT 3, it should work fine now !

This is yet another problem in Codies games. It also doesn't work in DiRT Showdown. Gave up on this a long time ago.

Works for me in Dirt3, thank you!

How long does it take to process this? There is no save settings button and I still cannot log in...
