Using your phone to verify your identity is one way to protect YouTube's ' community ' and minimize abuse.

YouTube uses the phone number you filled in to send you a verification code.

In addition, to ensure that the number is not used for multiple accounts.

Generally, the code will be directly given to you. If you haven't received it, you can request a new code.
