Google is introducing a new account security feature that allows users to log in using selfie videos. This method serves as an alternative authentication option for users who may be locked out of their accounts or lack access to their primary devices. The setup process involves recording a short video of oneself turning their head, which Google will then use for future identity verification and to help prevent impersonation attempts like deepfakes.
