Summary
- Google is promoting a new sign-in option using video selfies.
- This feature was introduced in July and is now encouraging users to set it up on the homepage.
- It’s designed to assist in account recovery rather than replace traditional passwords or passkeys.
After making third-party logins easier with Google accounts and advocating for the use of passkeys over passwords, Google is now introducing a sign-in method using video selfies. Although launched in July, this feature is not universally available yet, but users can now see prompts to set up this method for logging in via video.
The tech company has begun encouraging users to explore the video selfie sign-in on its desktop homepage. Reports indicate that a banner is now being displayed to highlight this new login option.
