Google tests selfie-video sign-in: biometrics are becoming the new identity standard

Google is adding selfie-video sign-in as an additional authentication method.

Users record a short video with simple head movements, and Google compares it with a reference recording.

The company is betting on live human verification to reduce the risk of spoofing, fake photos and deepfake attacks.
Google says the videos are stored in encrypted form and can be deleted at any time.

Why it matters: biometrics are increasingly replacing passwords, but greater convenience also raises new questions about privacy and data protection.

How do you feel about this sign-in method?
