During a YouTube block, please whitelist the sub-domain accounts.youtube.com

I use OneSec to block YouTube during scheduled sessions. This sometimes prevents me from signing in to my Google Workspace account because Google’s authentication flow redirects through: https://accounts.youtube.com/accounts/SetSID OneSec appears to treat that authentication endpoint as part of the blocked youtube.com domain. As a result, authentication for unrelated Google Workspace services can fail whenever the YouTube block is active. Can you please add accounts.youtube.com as an exception for the built-in YouTube block to allow this authentication-only subdomain by default. Google itself identifies accounts.youtube.com as an account-authentication domain in its enterprise network documentation. Exempting that subdomain should preserve the block on www.youtube.com and video content while avoiding disruption to Google sign-in.
