YouTube allows to login via Google account. However, you need to have a YouTube account.

When I clicked sign in with Google account, it showed me two options:

  1. Associate your YouTube account with Google account.
  2. Sign out of Google account and create a new one.

Is there any way I can have single sign-on without creating a separate YouTube account?

(Just like SO's OpenID login where they create an account on the fly).

  • Gmail account integration with YouTube is very confusing (to me atleast) – IsmailS Jul 26 '10 at 10:15

That is what option one ("Associate your YouTube account with Google account") allows you to do. YouTube only asks for a few extra pieces of information that may not be provided from your Google account.

    Also because YouTube wasn't part of Google in the beginning and somebody could have already an account on YouTube. – Lipis Jul 25 '10 at 13:04
