I noticed some random videos in different languages popping up in my YouTube history, and I'm certain I didn't watch them. I have two-factor authentication enabled, and Google says my Gmail isn't linked to any other devices besides my own. Is there any way to check what devices are signed into my YouTube account? Should I just change my Google password to log out any unauthorized access?

You should check your Google account for connected devices here: myaccount.google.com/device-activity. Look for any unfamiliar devices and sign them out. If you suspect your account might be compromised, it’s a good idea to follow the usual steps to secure it again.
Have you checked if autoplay was on? Sometimes videos can keep playing without you realizing it, which might mess with your history.
It’s strange to see random videos in your history like that, especially if you’re sure you didn’t watch them! If you accidentally hovered over them, that could register as a view. Also, if you’re using a VPN, the suggestions might reflect the server's location. I’d recommend changing your password anyway for security and using an authenticator app for better 2FA. Make sure to scan your devices for any malware too! Check when those videos were watched; it might help you figure out if someone else has access to your account.
