Google has introduced a new way to sign in to Google Accounts. This new feature, called “Selfie Video,” is designed to help users sign in to their Google Account, especially if they’re having trouble signing in. Google says the selfie video is encrypted and will only be used to verify identity during sign-in and account recovery. The company has also shared a video showing this new sign-in option. Google has said that the selfie video and the data related to it will be stored in security settings.
**Google’s new feature has arrived**
Google announced this new selfie video method for sign-in and account recovery in a blog post, which lets users verify their identity using a short selfie video. This new option helps users regain access to their Google Account if they’ve been locked out of their Google Account or don’t have access to their normal phone or computer.
**How to use this feature**
The Selfie Video feature can be set up by going to the “Security & sign-in” section of Google Account settings, selecting “Selfie Video,” looking at the device’s camera, and moving your head as directed to capture images from different angles.
The company has confirmed that it will use a model to review selfie videos to determine whether the user is a real person and meets the age requirements to use certain Google services. Google says that when users have trouble signing in, they can record another selfie video to regain access to their account. Google will compare the new recording with previously recorded selfie videos by the user to verify identity.
