Google Introduces Selfie Login Feature for Account Recovery

Google has introduced a new option for account recovery that allows users to log in using a selfie video. This feature is designed to help users regain access to their accounts if they forget their password or lose an authenticator. Users must set up this feature in advance, and it is not available for Workspace accounts, child accounts, or accounts enrolled in Google's Advanced Protection Program. The selfie video will be stored on Google's servers, and the company has stated that the video will be encrypted and not used for other purposes unless users opt in.
