Export to Youtube, invalid username/password

I've been trying to export my gameplay recordings to Youtube by using the built-in export & upload feature in Action!.
It exports the video fine, but when it's going to start uploading to Youtube it says I have entered invalid username or password even if it's correct.

I have entered my gmail address I use for my Youtube account and the password I use for it. I can login to Youtube (website) without any problems. I have also tried to change password to one with only a-z, A-Z, 0-9 but still it don't work (before my password also included special characters). Any ideas?

Not sure if I understood that correctly. But I use my gmail account for my Youtube account, so it's the same login.

Gmail let's you type a PROGRAM password, whenever you use gtalk, thunderburd and so on, you must type the password you specified. You are asked to set a password when you connect your phone with the email.

Also it's generated.

Oh, thank you. I have never seen this page before, or even heard about the application specific passwords :)
The upload worked fine now! Thanks!
