The --netrc flag in yt-dlp is a security and convenience feature that allows the program to read authentication credentials (usernames and passwords) from a standard .netrc file. This prevents you from having to type passwords into the command line or include them in visible scripts. yt-dlp --netrc

Prevents passwords from appearing in shell history or process lists. chmod 600 ~/

machine <hostname> login <username> password <password> yt-dlp --netrc
