I have been uploading videos to YouTube via Vegas Movie Studio for years. Somehow today, when I upload it keep prompting "your YouTube username or password was not recognized by the server". Does anyone have the same problem?
No, it can't be a Sony problem because your software hasn't changed in the last 24 hours.
It is either Youtube's upload servers or they've changed their API's (again).
If it doen't clear up right away, you'll need to use Youtube's upload page and wait for the next VMS release..
I had this error (username password error on attempt to upload to YouTube from MS12) and fixed it by going into Youtube settings (Google+ settings) and selecting "Access for less secure apps". It was Google blocking Movie Studio and is now fixed.
Noticed a while ago too that Google regards Movie Studio as "a less secure app".
In case you do not want to use YouTube's own upload, you need to change the setting to "Allow" on the page that the post above gives a link to.
Google doesn't "recommend this option because it may make it easier for someone to gain access to your account."
