If you type:
:login

this displays a long line beginning with:
** Get the authentication code: 
followed by a big URL that you should copy then paste in a browser
(or, hold Ctrl and click on it to open it in Firefox)
This opens a dialog titled:
Sign in to continue to YoutubeViewer
You are asked in it for your email of phone number.

I assume that this should give you an authentication code
thrt you would paste at the next prompt of youtube-viewer after:
Code: 

I couldn't make a complete try because for some reason I have
hard time getting a Google account (and do not intend to
use one but for trying this feature, as an aside).
