Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.PlayStation 4 users are having difficulties signing into YouTube, as the video-hosting site is reportedly showing error codes when users try to log in.
People on Twitter, as well as on Google’s support forums, are saying that their video game console is showing the error code NP-37602-8.
It is unclear what that code refers to.
Google Trend data for people searching for the error code suggests that the problem begun at approximately 7am UK time and has continued since.
An official PlayStation support page where users can search for solutions to technical problems does not provide results for the code, only the message: "We couldn’t find a matching error. Please check and try again."
The error results in users being logged out of their YouTube accounts when they try to sign in, with no way to log back in.
The issue does not appear to have affected the application on Sony's PlayStation 3. It also does not appear to have affected Microsoft's Xbox One console.
This is not the first time the error code has surfaced. Forums from 2017 and 2016 show users suffering from similar issues, but those posts contain no advice on resolving the problem.
We have reached out to YouTube and Sony for clarification.
