Option 2 (more secure)
Step 1: Enable two step verification
Step 2: Generate App Password
Step 3: Copy and paste the generated password into the password field. This solution is more secure as you will be generating a password specifically for sharing to YouTube within Swing Catalyst. It requires you to first enable two step authentication. Follow the instructions in the link to create a separate app password for Swing Catalyst.
It's possible to use the same app generated password for both YouTube and sharing through Gmail in Swing Catalyst.
Example email from Google
The first time you try to use Swing Catalyst with your Gmail account you may receive an email like this. The link under "If this was you" takes you to option 1 above.
