That's not possible, and it's out of scope for Piped.

I'd like to reopen this issue to see how much of demand there is for this. This could also help bypass age restrictions on some videos that require login.

As YouTube Premium user I would very much welcome this!

PIPED as format source loads formats instantly, but it's unable to download 1080p Premium videos. While ytdnl is able to download them, it's very slow and unreliable. Annoying to deal with.

So I want to continue sticking with PIPED as format source, with the addition of it letting me download 1080p Premium videos please! Do consider adding this feature!

That would be perfect and I definitely need that. Especially for that age-restricted bypass part!

Looking at the README of Piped:

You give them a lot of data - ranging from ideas, music taste, content, political opinions, and much more than you think.

By using Piped, you can freely watch and listen to content without the fear of prying eyes watching everything you are doing.

Wouldn't allowing users to use their Premium accounts exactly do what Piped was made to avoid - massive data collection related to a single user, connected to their real identity?

I want to clearly state out that I'm absolutely against this idea.

Well Byrno nobody would force you to make use of it.
