Can You Have Different Password For YouTube And Google?
No, you canât have separate passwords for YouTube and Google.Â
YouTube is part of the Google tools, so when you want to change your YouTube password, you have to change your Google account password.Â
This means youâll be using the same new password for all the other Google services youâre connected to.Â
Just head over to your Gmail account, make the change, and youâre good to go!
If You Change Your Youtube Password, Will it Log Out From Other Devices?
Changing your password will log you out everywhere except:
- Devices that youâve set up for secure sign-in.Â
- Also, a few devices with third-party apps that youâve given permission to access your account.
So, keep that in mind and make sure to sign back in on your important devices!
How Many Times Can You Change Your YouTube Password?
Google doesnât have any set limits, but if you change your YouTube password too many times, it might raise a red flag, and Google might ask for extra verification to access your account.Â
Just keep that in mind and try to change it only when you really need to.
Wrapping Up
So, we hope now you clearly know how to change YouTube password from your mobile or computer device.
Just remember, once you change it, youâll be logged out of all other Google services on all the devices youâre signed in to, including YouTube TV.Â
But donât worry; you can always sign back in on each device with the newly changed password.
Also, you can save your new password in your Google account by clicking the âsave passwordâ option when you sign in.Â
This way, the next time you sign out, Google will automatically fill in your credentials for you when you sign back in.Â
