Google has launched a new sign-in method allowing users to access their accounts using video selfies. Users record short guided head movements to capture multiple angles, which are then used to verify identity during login. This feature aims to provide an alternative access option if users are locked out or lack their usual devices, while employing strong privacy and security measures to prevent deepfake impersonation. The video selfie is encrypted, stored securely with user consent, and can be deleted anytime, reflecting Google's response to rising AI-driven identity fraud risks.
