Google has introduced a new “selfie video” feature for password recovery, solving a major problem for millions of Gmail users. This feature makes it easy to recover Gmail password. Google announced this update through a blog post. Users often forget their Gmail account password and lose access to the recovery account, making the recovery process difficult; This new feature solves that problem.
**Account recovery through selfie video**
Google explained in its blog post that this new selfie video feature is designed to help users recover their Google accounts. You can use this feature if you’ve forgotten your Google Account password and don’t have another way to sign in.
This US tech company has introduced this feature as an optional recovery tool. Now, if you forget your Google account password or your account is locked, you can recover your Gmail account by uploading a selfie video. However, to use it, you’ll first need to upload a video when you set up your account; This video will serve as a reference for facial verification during the recovery process.
**how to use it?**
To use this selfie video recovery tool, you first need to go to your Google Account settings and upload a short selfie video as an alternative recovery method. When you’re left with no other recovery options, you’ll need to upload another short selfie video. Google’s system will analyze both selfie videos to help you recover your account. After this you can create a new password and log back into your account. Additionally, Google recently added an end-to-end encryption feature to Gmail, which is similar to the feature found on WhatsApp.
**Used as reference video**
Google’s system will use the selfie video you uploaded during account setup as a reference video. When uploading a selfie video, you’ll have to turn your head to see that it’s a live video, not a still photo that’s being recorded as a video. Additionally, you cannot upload any old videos during account recovery; Instead, you’ll have to use the phone’s front camera in real-time.
