Some years ago, if you wanted to change your YouTube password, it was as simple as going to your YouTube settings. Today, however, your YouTube account is also a Google account — meaning YouTube uses the same password as Gmail, Google Docs, and every other Google product. As such, if you want to change your YouTube password now, what you really have to do is change the password of the Google account connected to your YouTube account. You don't actually have to go to the YouTube website at all to do this. Here's how to change your Google account password, so that you can log into YouTube with a new password. You can do this through any internet browser on your Mac or PC.
