How to Recover a YouTube Login

YouTube brings television shows, movies, videos and more to your computer screen.

A YouTube account makes it possible to upload and share videos and to create customized pages. Creating a YouTube account is nearly effortless and requires only an email address, a password and a username. If you have different usernames and passwords for different websites, it can be easy to forget just what combination unlocks your YouTube account. Fortunately, you can recover your YouTube login information even if you can't remember your username.

Instructions

1. Navigate to YouTube.com. Click "Sign in" in the upper-right corner of the page.

2. Click "Can't access your account?" under the username and password fields.

3. Click "Forgot your YouTube username?"

4. Enter your email address and the verification code on the right. Click "Email my username!" YouTube sends your username to your email address.
