Google Rolls Out Selfie-Video Sign-In for Google Accounts

Google now lets users sign into Google accounts using a selfie video as a biometric login option. Set up via My Account > Security & sign-in, and you can complete the process with a computer camera or a phone through a QR code. The system asks you to move your head during verification to prevent impersonation, and your selfie video is stored in encrypted form for future logins with the option to delete it later. The feature is not yet available for Workspace accounts, child accounts, or those enrolled in Google's Advanced Protection Program.

"Android 14 and Amazon Join Forces to Simplify Passkey Integration for Apps"

Google's upcoming Android 14 update will introduce Credential Manager, a new API that simplifies passkey support for Android apps. This API allows apps to offer users easy biometric logins through passkeys, eliminating the need to remember traditional passwords. Third-party password managers like 1Password can also integrate the API for a more streamlined experience. The move aims to encourage more apps to support passwordless login and improve authentication support in Android.

Google introduces passkey authentication for Workspace and Cloud users.

Google has introduced passkeys as a more secure alternative to traditional passwords. Passkeys are an extension of biometric logins, such as fingerprint or face unlock, and are more phishing-resistant. Google has automatically created passkeys for some mobile devices, but users can create them for compatible devices by visiting myaccount.google.com/signinoptions/passkeys. Passkeys can be managed and revoked for listed devices, and as more companies adopt this feature, passkeys may become the norm for most apps.
