Google introduces selfie video for account recovery

Google has launched a new feature based on logging in via a selfie video, aimed at enhancing account security and recovery in cases of forgotten passwords or lost devices. This feature allows users to record a short video that includes specific head movements, which can later be used to verify their identity by comparing the new video with the previous recording. It also provides protection against deepfakes. Google emphasizes that the video is stored only with the user's consent and can be deleted at any time, promoting security and combatting fraud while considering privacy risks. Currently, the feature is available to eligible users and represents a significant step forward in addressing the challenges of identity verification through biometric data and deepfake prevention.
