(Web Desk) - Google has introduced a new security feature that will allow users to regain access to their accounts through a selfie video if they forget their passwords.
Under the new system, users will first need to record a selfie video while looking at the camera and following a few brief instructions. The process is designed to capture their face from different angles for identity verification.
If users later forget their passwords, they can record another selfie video to recover access to their Google accounts.
Google will compare the new video with the previously stored recording and, after confirming the user's identity, allow them to sign in.
The company said users can delete their stored selfie video from their account at any time. It added that the video would only be used to assist with the sign-in process unless the user explicitly gives permission for it to be used for another purpose.
According to Google, stored selfie videos will be encrypted, while multiple advanced security measures have been incorporated into the feature to help prevent fraud involving fake images or videos.
