Google now lets you sign in to your account using a selfie video

Read the article English (automatic translation)

Summary

Google introduced a new authentication method called 'selfie video', allowing users to log in by recording their faces and taking a short video of simple head movements.

Why it matters

This feature offers a practical alternative for users who cannot log out of their accounts or lack access to traditional two-factor authentication devices. By storing the reference video encrypted in the cloud, Google extends biometric security beyond the source device and claims to protect against spoofing attempts using photos or deepfakes.

Highlights

Users record their faces and take a short video turning their heads to prove they are live.
The reference video is encrypted and stored in the cloud, and can be deleted at any time through account settings.
Google employs multiple security layers to protect against deepfake attacks and suspicious login attempts.

Critical take

Relying on cloud storage for biometric data raises privacy concerns, and the system's effectiveness against advanced deepfake attacks has yet to be proven.
