Google is introducing a new method for account verification that utilizes selfie videos. This feature allows users to log in by recording a short video of themselves turning their head, which Google will use to authenticate their identity. The company states that this video will be encrypted and stored securely for future login comparisons, aiming to prevent impersonation attempts like deepfakes. This option is currently unavailable for Workspace accounts, child accounts, and users in the Advanced Protection Program. AI
