California: (RightNow) Google has launched a new selfie video feature to enhance account security. This feature allows users to use a short video for logging in or recovering their accounts.

This feature could be a solution to deepfake fraud and account hacking issues. Google states that it will also serve as an alternative sign-in method.

The company explains that users will need to record a short video, which will be securely stored. This video will be used for identification during sign-in.

The feature provides encryption protection for stored videos. Users can delete their videos at any time.

It is important to note that this feature is initially available to a limited number of users and will soon be rolled out globally.
