TL;DR Summary

Google is adding a selfie‑video sign‑in option for account access, where you record a short video and Google compares it to a stored reference to verify identity. The reference video is encrypted in the cloud and can be deleted, with an option to share it for additional purposes; the rollout will be phased and includes protections against impersonation.
