Google Adds Selfie-Video Option for Account Recovery
Google is introducing selfie-video verification as another way for users to regain account access when they cannot use their usual phone or computer.
Google is adding selfie-video verification as an account-recovery option, giving users another way to sign in when they are locked out or cannot access their usual phone or computer.
The option expands the recovery methods available to Google account holders rather than replacing existing sign-in tools. Google presented the feature as an additional route for confirming identity when familiar devices are unavailable.
Users should follow prompts within Google’s official account-recovery flow and avoid sending verification videos through unsolicited messages or third-party sites.
