Hey partners,
For you folks trying to create a new AdSense account or linking to an existing one in your account, we're aware of the "Login with this username/password failed" message you're receiving. Our engineers are working to resolve this as soon as possible and remember not to submit an application through google.com/adsense unless you have your own website.
I'll update this as soon as this is resolved, thanks!
Best,
Mike

Hey all,
For those of you in the US - hope you had a good Memorial Day weekend! Engineering has identified what went wrong, it's being fixed and the longest this may take is a week, but aiming for sooner. I'll keep you all updated, so thanks for your patience.
As a friendly reminder, remember that the majority of you do not need an AdSense account to begin monetizing your videos. You'll need one for a payout once you reach the payout threshold for your country and we'll remind you when it's a good time to link, and there's no time limit, so you'll be able to do this once this issue is resolved or at a later time without being affected.
Also, if you have already associated an AdSense account and want to relink, remember that it's against AdSense's Terms and Conditions to create a second account, and so you should only be using this relinking feature in very exceptional situations such as when you close your account and open a new one because you've moved countries.
Hope that helps clear up worries!
Best,
Mike

This is all fixed now, thanks for your patience! If you have any other AdSense issues, please check out some issues we have listed on our Current Site Issues page under Monetization, and remember to look out for emails and instructions from AdSense after submitting applications through YouTube.
Best,
