You've mentioned that you can still view it yourself so have you tried youtube-dl with the username + password options?

I have now tried that. But logging in isn't working for me :(

    app $ youtube-dl -u yyyyyyy@gmail.com -p zzzzzzzzz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1234343
    [youtube] Downloading login page

I disabled 2FA, and confirmed that my password is correct by logging out on the web, and back in again.
