Google Introduces Selfie Video Verification for Account Recovery

Google has announced a new feature that lets users verify their identity by recording a short selfie video when they are locked out of their account or unable to access their primary phone or computer. This biometric option aims to provide a more convenient and secure way to regain access, reducing reliance on traditional methods like SMS codes or backup emails. The selfie video is processed using advanced liveness detection to ensure it is a real person and not a spoof. The feature is rolling out gradually to Google accounts globally.
