Login with a selfie video: Google is testing a new way to authorize accounts

How it works

You simply take a mobile device with a working camera via Wi-Fi, center your face, and follow the instructions for head movements so that the system captures angles of your face.

The software requires a clear view of your facial features, so you should not wear sunglasses or hats, and you should also make sure that there are no strangers in the background on the screen.

When you re-request access to your account, you'll need to record a fresh video. Google will compare it to the first recording you made when you set up the feature. To make sure it's really you, the system will ask you to perform quick actions — like blinking or turning your head.

Selfie video sign-in is not currently available to everyone, but you can check your account's compatibility at any time at g.co/signin-selfie.

Google assures that video data is encrypted and securely protected when not in use, and additional security barriers will prevent fraudsters from fooling the system with deepfakes.
